EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

USAID IFACS Overview

This Quarterly Progress Report summarizes the activities and achievements of the USAID

Indonesia Forest and Climate Support (IFACS) project, contract AID-EPP-I-00-06-00008, during the second quarter of FY 2014 (January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014). Funded by the

United States Agency for International Development and implemented under the leadership of Tetra Tech ARD , IFACS is a Task Order under USAID’s Prosperity, Livelihoods and

Conserving Ecosystems (PLACE) IQC. The project is designed to support the Government of Indonesia’s commitment to lower greenhouse gas emissions through conservation of carbon-rich forests and peatlands, climate change mitigation and low-emission development strategies (LEDS). The period of performance for the IFACS project is from November 5,

2010 to March 30, 2015.

A team of about 100 IFACS staff and consultants work in the project’s Jakarta and regional offices to achieve its objectives through partnerships with district governments, community leaders and local NGOs to promote spatial plans that ensure sustainable forest management and conservation. The project also works with private sector partners to introduce forest conservation strategies and integrate LEDS into their business operations in the IFACS landscapes.

IFACS activities are implemented through subcontracts, grants and direct implementation, with technical guidance and oversight provided by managers, advisors and technical specialists in the Jakarta head office and managed in the field by regional field teams.

IFACS activities are designed around two main pillars

– environmental governance and improved forest management – and implemented through four complementary components:

1. Land and Forest Resource Governance

2. Forest Management and Conservation

3. Private Sector, Local Enterprise and Market Linkages

4. Project Coordination and Management

Crosscutting activities dedicated to supporting these four components in the various landscapes include: Communication and Outreach; Grants; Training and Capacity Building; and Monitoring and Evaluation.

IFACS activities are implemented in eight strategic landscapes on three of Indonesia’s largest islands, where primary forest cover remains most intact and carbon stocks are greatest. In northern Sumatra, the project landscapes – Aceh Selatan and Aceh Tenggara – comprise the focal districts of Aceh Selatan, Gayo Lues and Aceh Tenggara, located within the Leuser Ecosystem, which hosts orangutan and other endangered wildlife species and the third largest tropical rainforest in the world. In Kalimantan, IFACS works in two landscapes: the West Kalimantan landscape of Ketapang, comprising the focal districts of

Ketapang, Kayong Utara and Melawi; and the Central Kalimantan landscape of Katingan, comprising the focal districts of Katingan, Pulang Pisau and Palangkaraya. IFACS also works in four Papua landscapes, Sarmi and Mamberamo in the north, and Mimika and

Asmat in the south.

This progress report includes a Bahasa Indonesia translation of the Executive Summary and presents a summary of activities and achievements around the four main IFACS components, followed by progress updates for each of the eight IFACS landscapes.

Appendices at the end of the report present a matrix of progress toward Performance

Monitoring Plan (PMP) targets and results, IFACS organization and staffing charts and updated lists of IFACS grantees, subcontractors and private sector partners.

Progress this Quarter

IFACS made significant advances this quarter in various key areas of the project, further strengthening partnerships with multi-stakeholder forums, district governments, local communities and the private sector to push for policies and practices that prioritize sustainable forest management and conservation.

Important progress was made in the project focal districts to conduct Strategic

Environmental Assessments (SEA) to encourage spatial plans that prioritize sustainable forest management through conservation and low-emission development strategies. This quarter in Sarmi, Papua, IFACS facilitated the completion of a SEA document, working closely with district government partners. The SEA document was incorporated into the final drafts of the district’s spatial and medium-term development plans. With strong support from the district house of representatives, draft legislation for the district spatial plan was reviewed by the provincial Regional Spatial Planning Coordinating Agency (BKPRD), then approved by a governor decree in March 2014. The district medium-term plan (RPJMD) draft was discussed and revised at a province-level musrenbang (planning discussion). The two bills now await enactment through district regulations (PERDA).

IFACS regional teams and grantees continued working with forest communities on livelihood development and conservation projects to secure commitments from villages to participate in conservation activities through Community Conservation and Livelihood Agreements

(CCLA). These agreements ensure conservation commitments from local communities in exchange for livelihood development support. To date a total of 51 villages in the IFACS landscapes have signed CCLAs. IFACS intends to further accelerate CCLA activities in the coming quarters to reach an additional 100 targeted villages before the end of the project in

March 2015.

This quarter, IFACS initiated additional livelihood support programs for shareholder farmers through value-chain improvements to upgrade their products for sustainable certification and increased market access through links with local buyers and processors. An IFACS valuechain specialist is now working with cocoa farmers in Aceh to expand market opportunities for their products by linking them with PT Cocoa Venture Indonesia (PT CVI), a local buyer who is looking to do business with sustainable cocoa producers. IFACS facilitated a workshop in Banda Aceh in February that brought together cocoa farmers and representatives of PT CVI and Bank BRI to explore potential links to improved markets and financing for local cocoa producers. IFACS also started working with rubber farmers in

Central Kalimantan this quarter to expand market access for their products though links with local rubber processing factories. A preliminary arrangement was made with rubber processor PT Banua Lima Sejurus to source rubber from IFACS-assisted farmers in Pulang

Pisau District. IFACS also supported a study tour of rubber farmers from Katingan landscape to the PT Bridgestone Kalimantan rubber plantation in South Kalimantan to attend two days of agronomy training.

IFACS work with private sector partners this quarter also made strides. Subcontractor PT

Daemeter completed its identification of high conservation value forest areas in the PT Bina

Balantak Raya Utama concession in Sarmi, Papua, and will draft a Conservation

Management and Monitoring Plan (CMMP) for the concession next quarter. Daemeter also continued discussions with PT Freeport Indonesia to promote a CMMP for its mining concession in Papua. In Central Kalimantan, ecosystem restoration company PT Rimba

Makmur Utama (PTRMU) was granted an operational permit in January and began working this quarter with IFACS subcontractor Re.Mark Asia to develop a CMMP for the concession.

There were notable results also from the forest conservation efforts in our Papua landscapes. In Mimika, a mangrove conservation manifesto signed last quarter by 30 local organizations calling for the collaborative management of Papua’s critical wetlands this quarter led to the establishment of the Mimika Mangrove Working Group (MMWG), the first institution of its kind in Papua. A decree to formalize the group has been drafted, and a

Mangrove Action Project (MAP) has mobilized to provide capacity building and management support for the MMWG. This multi-stakeholder collaboration in southern Papua aims to conserve 238,000 hectares of mangroves along the Mimika coastline. These are among the most impressive stands of mangrove in the world and are home to the Kamoro people of

Mimika who have traditionally utilized the mangrove resources sustainably to meet their living requirements. The mangrove ecosystem is critical to the protection of the Mimika coastline from rising sea levels, and the carbon stocks stored in mangroves rank second to the amounts of carbon stored in peatlands.

Also in Papua, the IFACS regional team formally launched the Cyclops Mountains

Landscape Program in March. A planning workshop facilitated by IFACS drew more than

100 participants representing a broad range of stakeholders from government, civil society, indigenous communities, universities, and police and military. The workshop resulted in a five-year strategic plan for the program, including participatory mapping of indigenous land areas, establishment of a collaborative management forum and Forest Management Unit

(FMU), training for forest patrol teams and sustainable livelihoods activities in the buffer zones.

In West Kalimantan, local initiatives to protect Gunung Palung National Park forests have reduced illegal logging activities by villages adjacent to the park and villagers have actively engaged in forest protection efforts through the Kelompok Sahabat Hutan (SAHUT), a forest guardian program operated by IFACS grantee ASRI, community partners and the forest police ( Polhut ). IFACS is also working with the national park authorities, district forestry office, BKSDA and Polhut to provide support for institutional strengthening and continued collaboration among local stakeholders to protect the national park.

The project encountered some implementation delays resulting from political developments in the run-up to legislative elections in April, particularly in Aceh where election-related violence significantly hampered implementation of field activities. The IFACS Aceh team has advised its staff to remain vigilant and continues to work toward advancing project objectives in the face of these challenges.

IFACS management has mobilized the required subcontract, grant and human resources to meet Contract Modification #8 technical requirements and extended period of performance.

Eight subcontracts worth more than $2 million were either initiated or expanded over the quarter, extending geographic and technical reach of the project. Significant subcontracts include: the expansion of cacao training and production support in Aceh; three separate awards supporting orangutan habitat conservation in Aceh and Kalimantan; Mimika

mangrove management planning; and private sector concessionaire conservation training.

The project also launched eight new grants valued at $750,000 under an RFA specifically targeting LEDS-based development for forest-dependent communities.

IFACS also completed its ramp-up of staffing this quarter and is currently fully staffed with a solid team of long-term technical assistance and management support, augmented by a

Jakarta and field-based short-term technical assistance. The expertise and collaborative efforts of our dedicated team have resulted in a notably productive quarter and provides a solid foundation for IFACS to effectively complete its work over the next year.

RINGKASAN EKSEKUTIF

Ikhtisar USAID IFACS

Laporan Triwulan ini merangkum kegiatan dan pencapaian proyek USAID Indonesia Forest and Climate Support (IFACS), kontrak AID-EPP-I-00-06-00008, selama kuartal kedua tahun fiskal 2014 (1 Januari 2014 sampai dengan 31 Maret 2014). Proyek IFACS, yang didanai oleh United States Agency for International Development (USAID) dan dilaksanakan di bawah kepemimpinan Tetra Tech, adalah suatu Task Order (Perintah Tugas) di bawah bidang Prosperity, Livelihoods and Conserving Ecosystems (PLACE) IQC USAID. Proyek ini dirancang untuk mendukung komitmen Pemerintah Indonesia untuk menurunkan emisi gas rumah kaca melalui konservasi hutan dan lahan gambut yang kaya karbon, mitigasi perubahan iklim dan strategi pembangunan rendah emisi (LEDS). Periode kinerja untuk proyek IFACS adalah 5 November 2010 sampai dengan 30 Maret 2015.

Tim IFACS yang terdiri dari sekitar 100 staf dan konsultan bekerja di kantor-kantor proyek di

Jakarta dan di daerah untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut di atas melalui kemitraan dengan pemerintah daerah, tokoh masyarakat dan LSM lokal untuk mempromosikan rencana tata ruang yang menjamin pengelolaan dan konservasi hutan yang berkelanjutan. Proyek ini juga bekerja sama dengan mitra dari sektor swasta untuk memperkenalkan strategi konservasi hutan dan mengintegrasikan prinsip LEDS ke dalam kegiatan bisnis mereka di bentang alam

IFACS.

Kegiatan IFACS dilaksanakan melalui mekanisme sub-kontrak, hibah dan implementasi langsung (direct implementation), dengan bimbingan teknis dan pengawasan yang diberikan oleh para manajer, penasehat dan tenaga ahli di kantor pusat Jakarta dan dikelola oleh tim regional di lapangan. Kegiatan IFACS dirancang atas dasar dua pilar utama – perbaikan tata kelola lingkungan dan perbaikan pengelolaan hutan - dan dilaksanakan melalui empat komponen yang saling melengkapi:

1. Tata Kelola Lahan dan Sumberdaya Hutan

2. Manajemen dan Konservasi Hutan

3. Sektor Swasta, Usaha Lokal dan Pengembangan Jaringan Pasar

4. Koordinasi dan Manajemen Proyek

Kegiatan-kegiatan lintas bidang didedikasikan untuk mendukung keempat komponen tersebut yang meliputi: Komunikasi dan Jangkauan (Outreach), Hibah, Pelatihan dan

Peningkatan Kapasitas, serta Monitoring dan Evaluasi.

Kegiatan IFACS diimplementasikan di delapan bentang alam strategis di tiga pulau terbesar di Indonesia yang mempunyai tutupan hutan primer paling utuh dan cadangan karbon yang besar . Di Sumatera bagian Utara, bentang alam proyek - Aceh Selatan dan Aceh Tenggara

- terdiri dari tiga kabupaten sasaran yaitu Aceh Selatan, Aceh Tenggara dan Gayo Lues.

Ketiga kabupaten tersebut terletak dalam Kawasan Ekosistem Leuser, yang menjadi rumah bagi orangutan dan spesies langka lainnya dan juga merupakan hutan hujan tropis terbesar ketiga di dunia. Di Kalimantan, IFACS bekerja di dua bentang alam: Bentang alam Ketapang di Kalimantan Barat, terdiri dari tiga kabupaten sasaran yaitu Ketapang, Kayong Utara dan


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 11

Melawi; dan Bentang alam Katingan di Kalimantan Tengah, yang juga terdiri dari tiga kabupaten sasaran yaitu Katingan, Pulang Pisau dan Palangkaraya. IFACS juga bekerja di empat bentang alam di Papua, yakni Sarmi dan Mamberamo di bagian Utara, dan Mimika dan Asmat di bagian Selatan.

Laporan kemajuan ini berisi terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia dari Ringkasan Eksekutif yang menyajikan ringkasan kegiatan dan pencapaian keempat komponen IFACS, diikuti dengan laporan perkembangan terkini dari setiap bentang alam IFACS. Bagian lampiran menyajikan matriks pencapaian proyek yang dibandingkan dengan target kinerja atau target dari

Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) , struktur organisasi IFACS dan daftar terkini penerima hibah IFACS, sub-kontraktor dan mitra swasta.

Kemajuan dalam Kuartal ini

IFACS membuat kemajuan yang signifikan di berbagai area kunci dalam kuartal ini, juga terus memperkuat kemitraan dengan Forum Multi Pihak, pemerintah kabupaten, masyarakat lokal, dan sektor swasta untuk mendorong terwujudnya kebijakan dan praktik-praktik yang mengutamakan konservasi dan pengelolaan hutan yang berkelanjutan.

Kemajuan penting terjadi di kabupaten-kabupaten sasaran terkait dengan pelaksanaan program Kajian Lingkungan Hidup Strategis (KLHS) yang akan mendorong rencana tata ruang yang mengutamakan pengelolaan hutan lestari melalui upaya konservasi dan strategi pembangunan rendah emisi. Di Sarmi, Papua, pada kuartal ini IFACS memfasilitasi penyelesaian penyusunan dokumen KLHS, bekerja sama dengan mitra pemerintah daerah.

Dokumen KLHS tersebut kemudian diintegrasikan ke dalam rancangan akhir Rencana Tata

Ruang Wilayah (RTRW) dan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Daerah (RPJMD).

Dokumen RTRWK Sarmi yang telah disetujui secara substansi oleh DRPD Kabupaten, akhirnya mendapatkan persetujuan dari Gubernur Papua di bulan Maret 2014. Sedangkan, dokumen RPJMD Sarmi telah didiskusikan dan direvisi dalam musrenbang provinsi. Saat ini, kedua dokumen tersebut sedang dalam proses legalisasi untuk ditetapkan dalam Peraturan

Daerah (Perda) Kabupaten Sarmi.

Tim regional dan penerima hibah IFACS terus bekerja dengan masyarakat desa hutan dalam kegiatan pengembangan mata pencaharian dan konservasi, untuk mendapatkan komitmen dari desa-desa sasaran untuk berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan konservasi melalui pembuatan Kesepakatan Konservasi Alam (Community Conservation and Livelihood

Agreements or CCLA). Melalui kesepakatan ini, masyarakat lokal berkomitmen untuk melakukan upaya-upaya konservasi sebagai timbal balik dari dukungan pengembangan mata pencaharian yang diterima. Sampai saat ini, 51 desa di bentang alam IFACS telah menandatangani dokumen CCLA. IFACS bermaksud untuk mendorong percepatan kegiatan

CCLA di kuartal mendatang untuk mencapai target 100 desa tambahan sebelum proyek berakhir di bulan Maret 2015.

Pada kuartal ini IFACS juga menginisiasi program tambahan untuk pengembangan mata pencaharian bagi para petani melalui perbaikan rantai nilai untuk meningkatkan mutu produk mereka agar dapat memperoleh sertifikasi berkelanjutan dan peningkatan akses pasar dengan cara menghubungkan para petani dengan pembeli lokal dan pengolah. Saat ini, seorang tenaga ahli IFACS bekerja sama dengan petani kakao di Aceh untuk memperluas peluang pasar bagi produk mereka dengan cara menghubungkan mereka dengan PT Cocoa

Venture Indonesia (PT CVI). Perusahaan ini adalah perusahaan lokal yang sedang mencari


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 12

peluang kerja sama dengan produsen kakao berkelanjutan. IFACS juga memfasilitasi kegiatan lokakarya di Banda Aceh pada bulan Februari yang mempertemukan para petani kakao dan perwakilan PT CVI serta Bank BRI untuk menjajagi potensi akses pasar dan akses pembiayaan yang lebih baik bagi para produsen kakao lokal. Masih di kuartal yang sama, IFACS juga telah mulai bekerja dengan petani karet di Kalimantan Tengah untuk memperluas akses pasar bagi produk mereka dengan cara menghubungkan para petani karet dengan pabrik-pabrik pengolahan karet lokal. Di tahap awal, kerja sama dibangun dengan perusahaan pengolah karet PT Banua Lima Sejurus. Perusahaan dihubungkan dengan para petani penerima bantuan IFACS di Kabupaten Pulang Pisau. IFACS juga memfasilitasi kunjungan belajar petani karet dari bentang alam Katingan ke perkebunan karet PT Bridgestone Kalimantan di Kalimantan Selatan, yang diikuti dengan pelatihan agronomi selama dua hari.

Kerja sama IFACS dengan mitra swasta juga mengalami kemajuan berarti dalam kuartal ini.

Sub-kontraktor PT Daemeter telah menyelesaikan identifikasi kawasan hutan bernilai konservasi tinggi di area konsesi PT Bina Balantak Raya Utama di Sarmi, Papua, dan akan memulai penyusunan Rencana Pengelolaan dan Pemantauan Nilai Konservasi Tinggi

(RPPNKT) di kuartal berikutnya. PT Daemeter juga terus melakukan diskusi dengan PT

Freeport Indonesia untuk mempromosikan RPPNKT di wilayah konsesi pertambangan mereka. Sedangkan di Kalimantan Tengah, perusahaan restorasi ekosistem PT Rimba

Makmur Utama (PT RMU) telah mendapatkan izin operasional di bulan Januari dan mulai bekerja sama dengan sub-kontraktor IFACS, Re.Mark Asia, untuk mengembangkan

RPPNKT.

Capaian penting lainnya juga datang dari upaya-upaya konservasi hutan di bentang alam

Papua. Di Mimika, sebuah manifesto tentang konservasi hutan bakau telah ditandatangani di kuartal lalu oleh 30 organisasi lokal, yang menjadi dasar bagi manajemen kolaboratif lahan basah kritis Papua, yang diwujudkan pada kuartal ini melalui pembentukan Kelompok

Kerja Mangrove Mimika (KKMM). Lembaga kolaboratif ini merupakan lembaga pertama di

Papua. Surat Keputusan (SK) sebagai dasar hukum bagi pembentukan KKMM sedang disusun, dan IFACS telah mengerahkan organisasi Mangrove Action Project (MAP) untuk memberikan dukungan peningkatan kapasitas dan manajemen bagi KKMM. Kolaborasi multi pihak di selatan Papua ini bertujuan untuk mengkonservasi sekitar 238.000 hektar hutan bakau di sepanjang garis pantai Mimika. Hutan bakau ini tergolong yang terbaik di dunia dan merupakan rumah bagi suku Kamoro Mimika yang secara tradisional memanfaatkan sumber daya bakau secara berkelanjutan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup mereka. Ekosistem bakau sangat penting untuk menjaga pantai Mimika dari naiknya permukaan air laut. Selain itu, kandungan karbon yang tersimpan di hutan bakau menempati peringkat kedua terbesar setelah kandungan karbon di lahan gambut.

Di Papua, tim IFACS regional telah meluncurkan secara resmi Cyclops Mountains

Landscape Program pada bulan Maret. Lokakarya perencanaan yang difasilitasi IFACS dihadiri oleh lebih dari 100 peserta yang mewakili berbagai pemangku kepentingan dari pemerintah, masyarakat sipil, masyarakat adat, perguruan tinggi, serta polisi dan militer.

Lokakarya ini menghasilkan rencana strategis lima tahun, yang meliputi kegiatan pemetaan partisipatif wilayah adat, pembentukan forum manajemen kolaboratif dan Kesatuan

Pemangku Hutan (KPH), pelatihan bagi tim patroli hutan dan kegiatan mata pencaharian yang berkelanjutan di zona penyangga.

Di Kalimantan Barat, inisiatif lokal untuk melindungi hutan di Taman Nasional Gunung

Palung telah berhasil mengurangi kegiatan pembalakan liar oleh masyarakat dari desa-desa di sekitar-sekitar taman nasional. Selain itu, penduduk desa juga telah secara aktif terlibat dalam upaya perlindungan hutan melalui Kelompok Sahabat Hutan (SAHUT), program


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 13

perlindungan hutan yang dijalankan oleh Yayasan ASRI selaku penerima hibah IFACS, mitra masyarakat dan polisi hutan (Polhut). IFACS juga bekerja sama dengan pihak taman nasional, dinas kehutanan, BKSDA dan Polhut untuk mendukung penguatan kelembagaan dan kerja sama di antara para pemangku kepentingan lokal untuk melindungi taman nasional.

Kegiatan Proyek mengalami beberapa penundaan karena perkembangan politik yang terjadi menjelang pemilu legislatif pada bulan April, terutama di Aceh dimana kekerasan terkait pemilu telah secara signifikan menghambat pelaksanaan kegiatan di lapangan. Tim IFACS di Aceh telah menyarankan para stafnya untuk tetap waspada dan terus bekerja untuk mencapai tujuan proyek di tengah tantangan yang dihadapi.

Manajemen IFACS telah memobilisasi sub-kontrak, sejumlah hibah dan sumber daya manusia yang diperlukan untuk memenuhi persyaratan teknis Modifikasi Kontrak # 8 dan perpanjangan proyek. Delapan sub-kontrak senilai lebih dari $ 2 juta telah dimulai maupun dikembangkan selama kuartal ini, sehingga memperluas jangkauan geografis dan teknis proyek. Sub-kontrak penting meliputi: pengembangan pelatihan kakao dan dukungan produksi di Aceh; tiga sub-kontrak yang mendukung konservasi habitat orangutan di Aceh dan Kalimantan; perencanaan pengelolaan hutan bakau Mimika; dan pelatihan konservasi bagi HPH. Proyek IFACS juga meluncurkan delapan hibah baru senilai $ 750,000 sebagai implementasi dari RFA yang secara khusus menargetkan pengembangan mata pencaharian berbasis LEDS untuk masyarakat yang bergantung pada hutan.

IFACS juga telah berhasil menggenapi jumlah staffnya di kuartal ini sehingga saat ini IFACS sepenuhnya dikelola oleh tim yang solid, didukung oleh sejumlah tenaga ahli yang memberikan dukungan teknis dan manajemen, baik mereka yang bekerja di bawah kontrak jangka panjang maupun jangka pendek. Keahlian dan upaya-upaya kolaboratif dari tim yang berdedikasi tinggi telah menjadikan kuartal ini sangat produktif dan memberikan landasan yang kokoh bagi IFACS untuk secara efektif menyelesaikan pekerjaannya dalam waktu satu tahun ke depan.

IFACS PROGRAM

ACTIVITIES

Component 1: Land & Forest Resource

Governance

Progress this Quarter

The major focus of IFACS work on Component 1 continues to be on supporting implementation of MSF charters and action plans for forest and biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation and spatial planning. IFACS wo rk with the MSFs in the project’s

11 focal districts has improved understanding of major conservation, forestry and climate change issues and catalyzed targeted conservation activities that address climate change mitigation and adaptation. The increased engagement and participation of government in the

MSF, and their involvement in conservation efforts, has led to co-funding and developed technical expertise. Support of the MSF action plans are an indication of the positive impact of the MSF and IFACS intervention in forest governance.

MSF Strengthening

The MSF in Aceh Selatan succeeded in resolving internal divisions this quarter and revitalizing their organization. They renamed the MSF to Forum Lanskap Aceh Selatan

(FORLAST) and redefined their organizational structure, developed action plans and designed a campaign strategy for increasing public awareness and understanding of climate change and forest conservation issues. The FORLAST action plans, developed according to their local community concerns, are focused on improving nutmeg production, initiating land rehabilitation programs, developing local regulations for natural resource management, and managing responsible ecotourism. FORLAST has introduced the organization to local government agencies and community representatives and described its work plan to promote climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies for the district.

The MSF in Katingan landscape conducted various activities this quarter to disseminate conservation and climate change messages to local communities using various approaches.

In Katingan District, religious and village leaders held informal discussions with the Dayak

Panarung tribal council about conservation and climate change issues related to their forest surroundings, land boundaries and local livelihoods. The Palangkaraya MSF used dinner meetings to disseminate its messages among MSF members. This activity was launched for the first time in February, following the workshop on city forests (hutan kota) development:

‘Forest City: an Opportunity for Community Welfare’. Government officials at the national level attended the event, including Ismiyadi Samsoedin, (Ministry of Forestry), and Sonny

Keraf, a legislative member (DPR)/ a former environmental minister. In Pulang Pisau District, the MSF held discussions with the district’s Environmental Agency, Forestry and Plantation

Office, and District Disaster Management Agency to discuss activities to improve forest and peatland fire prevention and management. Fire prevention activities between all three focal districts will now be harmonized.

In the Ketapang Landscape, IFACS has organized regular ‘sunset discussions’ with the MSF in Kayong Utara District to discuss conservation strategies with MSF members leading to


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 15

conservation strategies that re currently under development such as regulation for improved management in the Gunung Palung National Park buffer zone and Journalist workshops that have educated stakeholders through local media about Low-Emission Development

Strategies (LEDS) for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The MSF in Ketapang

District continues to support conservation activities through its Land Conservation Plan

(LCP) that promotes the conservation of orangutan habitat in Pematang Gadung. The MSF is also encouraging land restoration through participatory seed planting of orangutan feeding trees.

In Papua, the Sarmi District MSF charter -- ‘Forest and Coastal Restoration for Climate

Change Adaptation’ – was designed to restore degraded and or deforested areas. The MSF and IFACS Sarmi held discussions with religious and tribal leaders to develop climate change and forest conservation messages to disseminate to local communities through religious sermons. The chosen topic for the first discussion was ‘The Roles of Adat

Community in Preserving Forest, and the second was ‘Climate Change Adaptation and

A lternative Livelihood to Support Sustainable Forest and Coastal Area’. The event was broadcast on the community radio station and reached communities in the city of Sarmi,

East Coast region, Bonggo, and Angkasa region in Jayapura. The MSF in Mimika District has revitalized its institutional structure and created an action plan to improve forest and mangrove conservation particularly in lowland areas to support community welfare in Mimika

District. The MSF consists of four task forces: advocacy and policy; education and communications campaign; alternative livelihood development; and monitoring and evaluation.

SEA-LEDS Development

IFACS continues to collaborate closely with SEA-LEDS working teams and MSFs, to facilitated SEA-LEDS development analysis and public consultations on SEA-LEDS integration into official planning documents (Ranperda RTRWK, or district Spatial Plan bill; and Ranperda RPJMD, or district Midterm Development Plan bill). This quarter, Sarmi

District in Papua became the first focal district of all the IFACS landscapes to finalize both

RTRWK and RPJM documents with SEA-LEDS principles and recommendation. This was a significant achievement for the Sarmi District government, led by the district head (bupati), to adopt the SEA-LEDS recommendations during a public consultation workshop on February

27. The SEA-LEDS working team in Sarmi has agreed to develop and lead the institutional development of the Regional Spatial Planning Coordinating Agency (BKPRD) in Sarmi.

Sarmi Bappeda will use the SEA document to develop the district strategic plan (Renstra

SKPD) and annual budget. The Sarmi District government also plans to design indicators to measure the well-being of local communities based on other factors, such as environment, health, education and social considerations, in addition to their GDP (PDRB). IFACS expects the district will require technical assistance to support the implementation of these recommendations.

Mimika District also held a second public consultation workshop this quarter, which resulted in a recommendation for the Mimika SEA-LEDS document to be integrated into Perda

RTRWK Mimika No. 15/2011 and Perda RPJMD No. 3/2009. The workshop also resulted in an agreement by the SEA-LEDS working team to use the Mimika BKPRD (Badan Koordinasi

Penataan Ruang Daerah/ Coordinating Agency for District Spatial Plan) as an active government institution for monitoring activities concerning the implementation of Perda No.

15/2011. Monitoring activities will focus on the first phase of a five-year evaluation of their

RTRWK, which will be held in 2016. Short-term monitoring of the RTRWK will focus on local government regulations concerning the monitoring of space utilization, zoning and permits in accordance with the integration SEA-LEDS recommendations.

The integration of SEA-LEDS recommendations in Perda RPJMD focus on mainstreaming sustainable development principles in their planning, policy and program (PPP), particularly in the design of Renstra (Strategic Planning) and Renja (Work Plan) SKPD (local government office and agency) in Mimika. Mimika District Bappeda will disseminate the results of the second public consultation workshop to stakeholders, especially the impacted community. The local government of Mimika will likely require technical assistance to support the implementation of SEA-LEDS recommendations.

All three districts in Ketapang landscape -- Ketapang, Kayong Utara (KKU) and Melawi – this quarter completed analysis of SEA recommendations for their spatial plan documents.

Ketapang District made significant progress, particularly in managing and resolving their data collection and validation for SEA-LEDS analysis. The bupati of Ketapang District has instructed all members of the SEA-LEDS team to be engagaed in the process as results for the assessment will direct improvements for the spatial plan regulation (Ranperda RTRWK) of Ketapang District. In KKU District, there have been delays in completing the first draft of

SEA-LEDS document due to low capacity of the team in writing, coupled with ineffective assistance. IFACS is working closely with the URS team to try to resolve this issue. In

Melawi District, the SEA-LEDS working team conducted a field survey in March to collect data for analyzing and drafting the SEA-LEDS document.

SEA development in Palangkaraya in the Katingan Landscape has been delayed this quarter due to lack of progress in finalizing the SEA document draft because of potential issues of corruption affecting certain members involved in the SEA process. As a result the public consultation meeting scheduled for February was indefinitely postponed. In Katingan and Pulang Pisau Districts, the SEA-LEDS working teams have just completed the GIS training for SEA-LEDS analysis and IFACS and subcontractor URS will assist the writing sessions following the SEA-LEDS analysis in order to accelerate the completion of the first draft.

SEA-LEDS activities this quarter in the Aceh landscapes (Aceh Selatan, Aceh Tenggara and

Gayo Lues Districts) have been completed on schedule. Following this activity, IFACS and

YIPD Aceh will conduct public consultation workshops in the three districts next quarter to discuss the integration of the SEA-LEDS recommendations into the district spatial plan

(Perda and/or Ranperda RTRWK).

While efforts to complete SEA-LEDS documents are still ongoing in nine of the project’s 11 targeted districts, the completion of integrated SEA-LEDS documents into district spatial plan (RTRWK) and medium-term development plan (RPJMD) in Sarmi and Mimika Districts is a major achievement for IFACS and partner YIPD, who facilitated the process.

In Sarmi, most of the recommendations in the SEA-LEDS document have been successfully integrated into the draft spatial plan and highlights conservation of sustainable use of forests. Through the SEA-LEDS process the government has accepted a very high 45.3% of the total area of Sarmi (1,803,337 ha) as protection zones, and allocated a large area

(986,124 ha) for sustainable forest use. Furthermore, SEA-LEDS recommendations have been integrated into the RPJMD of Sarmi District that will ensure development policies in the doistrict are in line with sustainable development principles and LEDS.

In Mimika, the SEA-LEDS recommendations have been integrated into draft RTRWK and

RPJMD documents. However, the SEA-LEDS project missed the spatial planning cycle, but may come into effect when the plans are reviewed and revised in the next five years. The potential reduction in GHG emissions through mangrove conservation are significant.

GIS training and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) Development

The IFACS GIS and spatial planning specialist has begun developing module and tutorial guidelines for GPS data management and training. To date, the GIS/spatial planning team has achieved about 30 percent progress on the training guidelines. SDI development in most of the project’s focal districts this quarter involved establishing SDI technical teams and organizational structure, which now await legal authorization through the enactment of bupati or mayor decrees. There are four bupati decree drafts to be enacted in Melawi,

Katingan, Sarmi and Mimika Districts. IFACS expects all four decrees to be signed next quarter. The bupati in Pulang Pisau District signed the SDI decree in February. In Aceh

Tenggara, Aceh Selatan, and Ketapang, Bappeda and local agencies are holding discussions to establish SDI technical teams for these districts. Bappeda in KKU District has established a GIS laboratory to develop an infrastructure for developing an SDI network system. Workshops to improve SDI development will continue next quarter in KKU, Sarmi and Mimika Districts.

Landscape Conservation Plans (LCPs)

There has been great progress this quarter in the development of Landscape Conservation

Plans with partner MSFs in the IFACS focal districts. Final LCP drafts for nine of the targeted

12 MSFs are now completed. In Central Kalimantan, IFACS facilitated a large workshop in

Palangkaraya, followed by smaller workshops in Katingan, Palangkaraya and Pulang Pisau.

Similar workshops were conducted in Blangkejren and Tapaktuan, Aceh. These workshops aimed to further define focus areas in the LCPs and document their conservation priorities for MSF interventions.

IFACS will provide ongoing support to MSFs to help them develop and implement conservation action plans in their LCP focus areas. IFACS also worked on calculating carbon content in all the targeted LCP districts. One was completed and incorporated in the

LCP for Kabupaten Kayong Utara. Similar work to calculate carbon content using GIS will also be conducted in the other IFACS landscapes. Workshops to develop the initial LCP drafts for both the Mimika and Sarmi MSFs were also completed this quarter in Timika and

Sarmi, respectively.

The LCPs have also achieved impact through their influence on the Strategic Environmental

Assessments in Aceh and Kalimantan, prioritizing high conservation values (HCVs) and areas with high carbon storage. LCPs have acted as a baseline or blueprint for the MSFs to canvas government officials to ensure protection for the HCV areas.

Financial Leveraging from Public Sources

Securing finances from public and private sources for climate change mitigation and adaptation is difficult. IFACS is continuing to work with partners in the project landscapes to gain financial leveraging from public sources. In Katingan landscape a budget analysis conducted by an IFACS consultant found Katingan District spends more on forest and land expenditures than the other two districts and all three districts have increased their forest and land spending, according to their annual budget reports for the last two years. The study also found that the Forestry Office in all districts is the local agency with the highest spending in forest and land expenditures, followed by District Environmental Agency, and

Urban Planning Office in Palangkaraya. IFACS must address the effectiveness of land and forest budgets that target improved land and forest management to reduce deforestation and degradation.

Public leverage in Papua (where the potential availability of public funds is greater than Aceh or Kalimantan landscapes) is limited to co-financing and support for the MSF. In Mimika


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 18

District, Bappeda and the head office of transportation office have proposed a budget grant in their APBD 2014 for financing MSF activities in the next quarter. In line with this activity,

Bappeda Mimika has also committed to allocating funds to work with IFACS to conduct a diverse range of activities following the SEA-LEDS public consultation workshop held this quarter.

Challenges and Opportunities



Political violence in the Aceh and Mimika landscapes related to legislative elections in April has delayed implementation and achievements this quarter, especially related to MSF activities and funding leverage from public sources.



Many SEA-LEDS activities, particularly related to the completion of SEA draft documents and public consultation activities, were postponed in all of our landscapes due to national legislative elections ( pemilu legislatif ) and the Musrenbang at village, municipality and provincial levels (Regional Development Planning Consultation).

This has caused delays in the schedule of project deliverables, especially from

IFACS subcontracts. On the other hand, IFACS has been able to introduce LEDS into the planning process and secured commitment for sustainable development programs in Sarmi District.



Most of the district governments in the project landscapes lack initiative to establish

SDI networks and are still dependent on guidance from the national government, particularly the Badan Informasi Geospatial (BIG). IFACS is providing support in SDI development, particularly in terms of institutional development, regulatory and human resources capacity, and coordinating closely with BIG. IFACS still faces great challenges in accessing primary spatial data, but this is a key areas that can be addressed through the development technological capacity at the district level.

Priorities for Next Quarter



IFACS will continue to support and strengthen the MSFs in our project focal districts, particularly with regard to implementing action plans focused on communications campaigns, capacity building and training proagams and landscape conservation plans.



SEA-LEDS workshops and trainings in all the project landscapes are on track for finalization next quarter with the facilitation of public consultations and integrating

SEA documents into spatial plans.



IFACS will improve engagement between BIG, the government at provincial and district levels by engaging expert teams from the Research Center for Spatial Data

Infrastructure Development ( Pusat Pengembangan Infrastruktur Data Spatial /PPIDS) accelerate the development of SDI in 10 IFACS targeted districts.



Advanced GIS training will be implemented throughout all districts including raster data management and GPS trainings.



IFACS will continue monitoring MSF activities and promote funding leverage from public sources in the project landscapes.

Component 2: Improved Management and

Conservation of Forest Resources

Progress This Quarter

IFACS work on Component 2 this quarter focused on achieving reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the continued development and implementation of plans to promote sustainable management of forest resources in the IFACS landscapes, commensurate with low-emission development strategies (LEDS) and conservation best management practices

(BMPs). To achieve this IFACS staff collaborated closely with private sector partners, grantees, subcontractors and MSF members to achieve results at three different landscape levels: the environs of local villages; natural resource concessions; and the broader landscape. This collaboration included the development and implementation of: Community

Conservation and Livelihood Agreements (CCLAs); Conservation Management and

Monitoring plans (CMMPs) with partner concessions; and landscape-level conservation plans (LCPs) with MSF members.

Additionally, IFACS facilitated a broad range of biodiversity conservation initiatives. These included: activities by the Indonesian Orangutan Foundation; increased engagement of local communities in West Kalimantan and Aceh in forest protection programs; and reforestation projects in and around Gunung Leuser National Park in Aceh (Bengkung - Trumon Corridor and Ketambe), Gunung Palung National Park and the Pinoh subwatershed in West

Kalimantan.

Conservation Management and Monitoring Plans (CMMPs)

Improved conservation management throughout large tracts of forest in IFACS landscapes is not possible without engagement of natural resource concessionaires. For example, some

70 percent of orangutan in West and Central Kalimantan have their prime habitat in such concessions. Furthermore, the portfolio of 14 IFACS concessions has a combined area of some 2.5 million hectares - such that improving conservation management in these will contribute about 83 percent of the project target impact area of 3 million hectares of forest and peatland under improved management, including 1.7 million hectares of orangutan habitat.

IFACS subcontractor PT Daemeter completed its identification of HCVs in the PT Bina

Balantak Raya Utama concession in Sarmi, Papua. However it has had difficulties negotiating a time with stakeholders to conduct its workshop on site to further identify threats to these HCVs and solutions to abate threats. This activity is critical to drafting the CMMP for this concession and will be conducted next quarter. Daemeter has also participated in discussions with PT Freeport Indonesia (PT FI) to promote the development of a CMMP in their project area in Papua. After a long process, PT FI has welcomed IFACS, working through PT Daemeter, to conduct this work. Daemeter has begun to collate the massive amount of information on the biophysical aspects of the project area gathered by PT FI over the last 20 years. They have also produced a number of the basic GIS themes required to identify the HCVs in the PT FI project area.

PT Rimba Makmur Utama (PT RMU), an Indonesian ecosystem restoration company that has partnered with IFACS in Central Kalimantan, obtained an operational permit in January from the Minister of Forestry as Ecosystem Restoration Concessionaire. IFACS is now working with subcontractor Re.Mark Asia to develop a Conservation Management and


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 20

Monitoring Plan (CMMP) for the concession. Re.Mark Asia has completed its information review, identification of high conservation values (HCVs) and conducted a workshop this quarter to identify threats to the HCVs and define solutions to mitigate these threats. These will be drafted in the CMMP for this concession and Re.Mark Asia will conduct its public review of the CMMP draft next quarter.

Community Conservation and Livelihood Agreements (CCLAs)

CCLA development work in the project’s 160 target villages this quarter focused on gaining signed agreements and initiating implementation of these agreements. IFACS Jakarta and regional staff, in collaboration with grantees and subcontractors, facilitated numerous meetings and field participatory mapping exercises that successfully advanced the development of CCLAs. These agreements ensure conservation commitments from local communities in the Aceh, Katingan, Ketapang and Sarmi landscapes in exchange for livelihood development support. (See maps in Landscapes section of this report to see areas of IFACS CCLA activitiy in each landscape.)

The CCLAs are focused on assisting villagers identify HCVs in their environs and then forming agreements whereby the villages help improve the management of these HCVs. As such they contribute to the total forest and peatland areas that will obtain improved conservation management. At this stage an estimate of the total area affect by CCLAs in

IFACS landscapes in Aceh and Kalimantan (125 villages) is over 65,000 hectares. In Papua

(35 villages) this area is likely to increase by a factor of 10. The total area impacted in all

IFACS landscapes by CCLAs could be as much as 250,000 hectares.

The IFACS CCLA development process has several steps. Key among these are: i) socialization of the CCLA approach; ii) participatory village mapping to identify and map High

Conservation Value (HCV) areas in the landscape; iii) drafting and signing the CCLA document confirming village commitments to conserve the identified HCVs; iv) implementation of the CCLAs; and v) monitoring of their performance. The agreement is often between villagers and the village government, but they may also be between members of the village and a third party. In a number of villages, support for CCLAs is now officially recognized through village regulations ( perdes or qanun ).

Following the participation of 96 villages last quarter in developing participatory sketch maps and the signing of CCLAs by 22 villages, this quarter saw a total of 67 villages completing the participatory mapping process. A combined total of 51 villages have now signed their

CCLAs (Aceh 13; Ketapang 6; Katingan 16; Sarmi 16) and about 23 villages have begun to implement the CCLAs. As these figures show, the emphasis this quarter has been on completion of CCLAs initiated last quarter and initiating their implementation, while continuing to advance participatory mapping in additional villages.

Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation (CCVA)

IFACS subcontractor FIELD has implemented Sustainable Livelihood Assessments (SLAs) and developed climate change adaptation action plans in 81 villages across six IFACS landscapes (excluding Asmat and Mamberamo Raya) to strengthen resilience to climate change impacts (Aceh Selatan 15; Gayo Lues 15; Kalimantan Barat 15; Kalimantan Tengah

16; Sarmi 15; Mimika 6). Problems were experienced in the remaining villages in Mimika because of tribal conflicts, so IFACS has instead planned to add nine villages to the Aceh work plans. Work has started in these remaining nine villages and expects to complete RAPI action plans in these remaining villages after temporary delays due to local elections.


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 21

FIELD also accepted a subcontract modification to initiate implementation of these RAPI action plans. To this end FIELD conducted a three-day internal workshop in Bogor in

February, which was attended by 24 of their key field staff working on this project and seven of their Jakarta-based facilitator staff. The design of this additional work program, including development of TORs, work schedules and establishment of financial mechanisms were complete. District-level workshops will begin next quarter.

Reforestation Projects

These activities contribute to both improved management scenarios near villages and buffer zones of protected areas.

Yayasan Leseur Indonesia (YLI), an IFACS grantee, has identified the boundaries of a

2,700-hectare area required to link Gunung Leseur National Park with the Singkil Swamp

Sanctuary in Aceh Selatan. (This area is referred to locally as the Bengkung-Trumon

Corridor.) Following last quarter’s data collection on the biodiversity and current condition of the Trumon Corridor and community training programs for development of nurseries to rehabilitate 400 hectares of degraded land in the area, YLI this quarter established a nursery in the Trumon Base Camp and a nursery in each of the Naca and Le Jerneuh villages.

These nurseries have produced 132,000 seedlings, which is sufficient to rehabilitate the targeted degraded areas. YLI also completed trainings for multi-stakeholders to develop a community patrol and enforcement network. They also continue to compile information to support the development of a Conservation Management & Monitoring Plan for the Trumon

Corridor.

Orangutan Conservation

The IFACS subcontract to the Indonesian Orangutan Forum (FORINA) calls for a review of the National Orangutan Action Plan 2007-2017 and recommendation of activities to conserve orangutan habitat, operationalize the national orangutan database and implementat four field projects to improve the conservation status of orangutan in four

IFACS landscapes. This work will contribute to the CCLAs and CMMPs referred to above in meeting the project target of gaining improved management of orangutan in 1.7 million hectares of forest and peatland.

IFACS subcontractor FORINA used information gained from their national workshop last quarter to: i) select with stakeholders four projects involved with conservation of orangutan in the Aceh, West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan IFACS landscapes; and ii) continue to develop the orangutan national database.

The four projects for which FORINA has developed work plans and begun to implement with local partners are as follows: i. Community-based protection of orangutan forest habitat around Ketambe, Aceh

Tenggara. This is being done in collaboration with the Orangutan Information Center

(OIC), local communities, the Gunung Leuser National Park Authority and local tourism operators. ii. Community-based protection of orangutan forest habitat around the Rawa Singkil

Strict Nature Reserve ( Suaka Margasatwa ), Aceh Selatan. This is in collaboration with Yayasan Leuser International (YLI), the nature Reserve management authority

(Balai Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam (BKSDA) Aceh Selatan; and local communities (Desa Teupin Tinggi, Bulusma, Sinebonk Jaya, Rakit, Kampong

Tengah and Kuta Padang).


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 22

iii. Collaborative management of nature focused on protection of orangutan habitat in the protected forests of Padu Banjar, Kayong Utara, and West Kalimantan. This is in collaboration with Yayasan Palung; the District Forestry & Tourism Departments;

Multi-Stakeholder Forums ( Rumah Ide ); and members of the Padu Banjar Village. iv. Provision and management of a sanctuary for translocated orangutan in the area of the Ecosystem Restoration Concession PT Rimba Makmur Utama (PT RMU),

Katingan, Central Kalimantan. This is in collaboration with PT RMU; Borneo

Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF); and the FORINA regional group (FORKAH).

The Kalimantan IFACS Regional Advisor has used her specialist knowledge of orangutan tourism to advise on project iii) and iv) above. She also participated in a survey with PT RMU senior staff of orangutan tourism potential to both conserve orangutan and engage local villages on the western edge of the PT RMU concession in orangutan-based ecotourism.

She is currently preparing a document to guide such an ecotourism activity.

Community Engagement in Forest Protection

This work will contribute to the CMMPs facilitated with other natural resource concessionaires referred to above that will improve the sustainable management of forests in the IFACS Papuan landscapes.

Last quarter, TFF completed its field assessment for IFACS of the sustainability of existing administrative and operational practices in the Mimika District related to small forest concession holders (IPHHKs, 10 to 100 ha; and IUPHHKMHA, 2,000 to 5,000 ha). It made six recommendations needed to address the governance and sustainability concerns surrounding these licenses, both in Mimika and in the Province of Papua as a whole. In

February, TFF presented these findings to a multi-stakeholder workshop in Timika that also included selected participants from the Sarmi District in northern Papua. The meeting was exceptionally well attended and there was considerable interest from all sectors in reform related to the TFF recommendations. The recommendations also provide some indication of where IFACS project support could be put to best use in assisting the government to achieve the goals of these licenses.

Other local initiatives to protect Gunung Palung National Park forests has been through the

Kelompok Sahabat Hutan (SAHUT), a forest guardian program operated by IFACS grantee

ASRI, community partners and the forest police ( Polhut ). IFACS is also working with the national park authorities, district forestry office, BKSDA and Polhut to provide support for institutional strengthening to improve effective collaboration to protect the national park. The previous grant was completed in January but this was extended with an additional grant to extend this project into a further five villages around the Park. Socialization of this project in these additional villages was completed this quarter.

In Melawi, West Kalimantan, the IFACS grantee SUAR Institute, continued its work on protection of upper watershed forests near the Pinoh Subwatershed and the development of a Payment for Environmental (PES) project to deliver water to downstream users. They completed HCV assessment of these forests and began the process of identifying threats and practical solutions to abate these threats. They also had several disussions with important stakeholders required to be involved with a Payment for Ecosytem Services (PES) arrangement, including the local forestry department and the body that provides water services from these catchments (PDAM).

Mangrove Conservation

There are an estimated 912 million tons of carbon stored in mangroves in the IFACS

Mimika landscape. Improved conservation of these mangroves will, therefore, contribute significantly to the overall IFACS target of conserving 6 million tons of carbon through improved forest management.

This multi-stakeholder collaboration in the Mimika landscape in southern Papua aims to conserve approximately 238,000 hectares of coastal mangroves and freshwater swamp habitat along the Mimika coastline and inland river system. These are among the most impressive stands of mangrove in the world and are home to the Kamoro people of

Mimika who have traditionally utilized the mangrove resources sustainably to meet their living requirements. The mangrove ecosystem is critical to the protection of the Mimika coastline from rising sea levels and the carbon stocks stored in these mangroves rank second to the amounts of carbon stored in peat lands. (Mangroves store three to five times more carbon than upland tropical rainforests.)

A US Forest Service team continued its analyses of mangrove imagery and groundtruthing of the Mimika mangrove ecosystem, including laboratory testing for carbon content of 144 soil core samples. This work is now completed in draft form and a map of the distribution of eight major mangrove vegetation types, along with estimates of carbon stored in each of these types, was made available to IFACS at end of this quarter. This information was incorporated into the initial drafts of the LCPs and the CMMPs that

IFACS is facilitating for the Mimika MSF and PT Freeport Indonesia, respectively.

IFACS has commissioned a Universitas Negri Papua techanical assistance team to conduct field work to provide a natural resource assessment and environmental analysis of the Mimika mangroves. This is part of the overall mapping of mangrove resources that was part of the recommendations that flowed from the October 2013 workshop to establish a collaborative management group and initiate the development of a conservation plan for Mimika mangroves.




PT Mamberamo Alas Mandiri concession (PT MAM) has been unable to obtain a permit to manage its concession in Mamberamo. Last quarter IFACS was granted permission to conduct a CMMP in this concession by the director of the national

Forest Utilization office. This work is proposed in the next quarter. However, planned trainings by IFACS subcontractor Tropical Forest Foundation (TFF) in this concession requires work with concession staff - and this is not possible.



TFF is also unable to work with a second of its subcontracted concessions.

Consequently, IFACS amended the subcontract with TFF to deliver sustainable forest trainings to selected West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan Multistakeholder Forums (MSFs) and smallholder forestry concessionaires in Mimika; and providing additional Reduced Impact Logging training and assistance to develop sustainable management plans to the government.



The Alur Keujrun reforestation project in Aceh Selatan, which is directly implemented by IFACS, did not advance this quarter and was placed on hold because the staff

Component 3: Private Sector, Local

Enterprise & Market Linkages


This quarter saw significant progress with smallholders and village farmers in Kayong Utara,

West Kalimantan, Sarmi in northern Papua and the two Aceh landscapes. This included advances in the capacity of farmers to improve production of cacao, nutmeg and natural honey. In many instances such capacity building activities were linked to development of

CCLAs.

IFACS subcontractors and grantees trained smallholder farmers how to upgrade their onfarm production and post-harvest management practices. IFACS is also working to link farmers to buyers and end-markets that value their upgraded products.

Value-Chain Improvement of Aceh Cocoa Sector

IFACS subcontractor Swiss Contact Indonesia continued to replicate the CocoBEST model of training Aceh cocoa farmers on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good

Environmental Practices (GEP) using the Farmer Field School (FFS) approach.

This quarter CocoBEST 2 initiated activities by working with local relevant government agencies to select 25 targeted villages, followed by socialization at the village level. There will be an additional 1,600 farmers included in this CocoBEST 2 expansion in 2014.

IFACS has identified PT Cocoa Venture Indonesia (PT CVI) as a potential value chain partner to expand market opportunities for cocoa farmers. The GAP and GEP training

CocoBest conducted with farmers has made them attractive candidates for sustainable certification. PT CVI is now sourcing cocoa beans in Aceh Tenggara and has identified about 1,000 Aceh farmers as sustainable producers using the UTZ Sustainable Certification standard. UTZ Certification confers a price premium to producers that meet certain GAP and

GEP production standards. IFACS is currently entering into a Memorandum of

Understanding with PT CVI and will seek to maximize the number of farmers that are eligible to supply cocoa to PT CVI and be part of the UTZ Certification scheme. PT CVI is now looking to expand its certified production volume and network in Aceh.

At an IFACS workshop in Banda Aceh in February to link farmers to better markets and financing, CocoBEST farmers, representatives of PT CVI and Bank BRI gathered to discuss plans to set up village-level cocoa specialists to to train neighboring farmers beyond the

CocoBEST implementation period, and serve as key contacts with PT CVI and possible financiers. IFACS will continue to build the capacity of selected cocoa specialists in the coming quarter.

Value-Chain Improvement of Kalimantan Rubber Sector

In an effort to link farmers in the Central Kalimantan landscape with downstream markets,

IFACS staff from Palangka Raya and Jakarta traveled to Banjarmasin to visit rubber processing factories and the Indonesia Rubber Processing Association of South and Central

Kalimantan. A preliminary arrangement was made with rubber processor PT Banua Lima

Sejurus to source rubber from IFACS-assisted farmers in Pulang Pisau District. The


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 27

company was awarded a Level 4 Certificate for Green Industry from the Government of

Indonesia in 2013.

IFACS also supported the study tour of rubber farmers from Katingan landscape to the PT

Bridgestone Kalimantan rubber plantation in South Kalimantan to attend two days of agronomy training.

Community-Private Sector Partnerships

This quarter IFACS assessed five of the 15 villages near IFACS partner concessions in

West Kalimantan targeted for development of community empowerment initiatives through

CSR. The development of community-private sector partnerships are a key aspect of the

MoUs reached between IFACS and concessionaires in the project landscapes.

Ecosystem restoration concessionaire PT RMU will work with 14 villages located in the border of its ecosystem restoration concession on community empowerment initiatives through its CSR program.

This quarter IFACS conducted field visits to two villages located near the concession area to map out important areas in the villages for possible community-private partnerships to conserve high conservation value areas and promote alternative livelihood development.

Follow-up action is needed in the coming quarter.

Carbon Project Development

Following socialization on carbon development with all relevant grantees in all landscapes,

IFACS subcontractor PT Hydro Program Indonesia this quarter implemented the first of a series of in-depth training in carbon project development throughout all the IFACS landscapes. The training led more than 150 participants through the steps needed to complete a carbon project design. PT Hydro Program will produce at least five project proposals for potential REDD+ funding and the full engagement of local stakeholders as project proponents. The most feasible carbon projects include: forest conservation and watershed management in Gayo Lues District; peatland and forest protection in Central

Kalimantan; improved peatland management in Gunung Palung buffer zone in West

Kalimantan; and mangrove protection through reduced deforestation in in Mimika.


 Select 18 ‘cocoa doctor’ candidates for a 30-day intensive cocoa husbandry training at the PT Mars Cocoa Academy Facility in North Luwu, Sulawesi, to be followed up by business skills training of the selected candidates at the UKM Center of Aceh.



Collect GPS coordinates of the landholdings of the 800 CocoBEST-trained farmers in

Aceh for the purpose of designating their landholding position in relation to protected forests.



Continue developing market linkages for rubber farmers in Central Kalimantan.

Component 4: Project Coordination and

Management

The Project Coordination and Management component of IFACS is responsible for ensuring efficient implementation, financial management and contract compliance for USAID, as well as effective coordination of the FOREST partners in the USAID/Indonesia portfolio of climate change, forest conservation and sustainable landscape activities. Component 4 also includes important crosscutting IFACS initiatives including grants under contract, communications and outreach, training and capacity building and monitoring and evaluation.

This section briefly discusses progress achieved in these areas during the first quarter of

Year 4.

Project Management

During this quarter, IFACS continued its surge to mobilize required subcontract, grant and human resources to meet Contract Modification #8 technical requirements and extended period of performance. Eight subcontracts worth more than $2 million were either initiated or expanded over the Quarter, extending geographic and technical reach of the Project.

Significant subcontracts include expansion of cacao work in Aceh, three separate awards supporting orangutan habitat conservation in Aceh and Kalimantan, Mimika mangrove management planning, and private sector concessionaire conservation training. This Quarter

IFACS also successfully launched eight new grants valued at $750,000 under an RFA specifically targeting LEDS-based development for forest-dependent communities. These were rolled-out in landscapes across Aceh, Kalimantan and Papua. Finally, IFACS completed its ramp-up of staffing this Quarter. Per the Organizational Chart in the appendix,

USAID IFACS is currently fully-staffed with a solid team of long-term technical assistance and management support augmented by a stable of Jakarta- and field-based short-term technical assistance. Combined, this progress led to a productive Quarter and provides a solid foundation for IFACS to effectively complete its work over the next year.

Personnel

Over the quarter, IFACS successfully completed recruitment and mobilization for the revised staffing plan resulting from Contract Modification #8. This included recruitment and placement of eight technical and operational positions based primarily in the field.

IFACS continued its utilization of long-term STTA landscape advisor positions in Kalimantan and Papua. These positions are proving to be highly effective, especially in terms of strengthened planning and reporting. This quarter, IFACS also ramped up the use of both

Indonesian and international STTAs in order to broaden our technical capacity at the landscape level. This is contributing to more and higher quality results and deliverables. This includes the mobilization of private sector STTA that is leading to ramped-up initiatives with cacao and nutmeg in Aceh as well as rubber in Kalimantan, and providing an entry point for greater engagement with the palm oil sector.

Capacity building of IFACS staff this quarter included regular management support visits to field sites as well as a senior management meeting held in Jakarta in January. This two-day meeting brought together senior technical and field staff to review progress toward the Year

4 Work Plan after the first quarter, and to adjust plans to better achieve results through the rest of the Work Plan period.

Finance and Budgeting

This quarter saw a continued surge in field activities, especially through grants and subcontracts. (Updated lists of subcontracts and grants are provided in the Appendix section of this report.) This has led to an anticipated increase in monthly invoicing, though the

Project still must be mindful of slow-downs in field activities for a variety of reasons. First, many subcontractors fell behind on deliverables as they faced difficulties mobilizing government partners during the legislative election scheduled for April. IFACS anticipates ongoing difficulties with subcontract and grant implementation through the rest of the Work

Plan year due to April legislative elections, July presidential elections and October change of government. Further, IFACS notes that civil unrest in South Aceh and Mimika have impacted the Pr oject’s ability to deliver technical assistance effectively. These situations are being carefully monitored, and end-of-year results may have to be calibrated accordingly.

Reporting

IFACS continued to provide USAID with regular weekly and monthly reports. Over the quarter, the required first quarter progress report was submitted to USAID. A Quarterly

Accrual Report was also submitted, along with a Pipeline Analysis and Grants Tracker that were submitted early each month.

USAID/Indonesia Forest & Sustainable Landscapes Partners

Coordination

The project works closely with USAID Indonesia to coordinate other US Government partners supporting work on climate change, forest conservation and sustainable landscapes (FOREST). Highlights this quarter include the following:

 Facilitation of Donor Coordination Meeting for Papua at the IFACS office

 Collaboration with USFS on carbon stock assessment for the Mimika Mangrove

Conservation initiative in Papua

 Preparation of a workshop series to showcase IFACS partner best practices and lessons learned with the Ministry of Forestry

 Presentation of IFACS forest and climate change issues to the US Ambassador

 Hosting of USAID and USG VIP field visits in Aceh, Papua and Kalimantan.

Monitoring and Evaluation


The IFACS Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Team has continued to strengthen the

Management Information System (MIS), quality control over PMP data and evaluation of

IFACS program delivered through grants. The MIS has significantly impacted not only the monitoring of results from IFACS activities, it has also greatly improved efficiency in project management. While quality control of reporting from the IFACS regional offices is still in need of improvement, the MIS has been effective in streamlining reporting procedures for recording progress on PMP indicators and, most important, it has become a critical tool for project managers to oversee IFACS activities and spur performance of their team.


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 30

The M&E Specialist and M&E Officer in Jakarta devoted much of the quarter to training

IFACS staff on the new MIS and upgrading M&E procedures across the project landscapes.

This involved visits to regional offices for training sessions and strengthening communications with the M&E coordinators in each region.

The addition of M&E coordinators in the project’s regional offices has proven useful in ensuring the quality of PMP data reported to IFACS Jakarta. M&E coordinators provide support for all phases of activity from planning, implementation and reporting and working collaboratively with technical staff and grantees on data acquisition, such as baseline and endline surveys and field observations.

The streamlining of data and information exchange made possible by the new system has enabled the M&E team to engage more closely with decision-making related to project activities in order to maximize results. This role must be strengthened through the final year of the project.

Evaluation of grant programs this quarter was carried out for six grantee programs in Central

Kalimantan, West Kalimantan and Papua. Below are summaries of the M&E evaluation findings:

 IFACS Grant 015 – PUTER .

PUTER has successfully completed its participatory mapping program in 12 villages adjacent to the PT Rimba Makmur Utama (PT RMU) ecosystem restoration concession in Kotawaringin Timur District in Central Kalimantan. The evaluation revealed participatory mapping activities have resulted in substantial benefits to village governments and local communities. The program has promoted village engagement in land use and spatial planning and awareness of village boundary issues and land rights. Village mapping activities have also become a foundation for villagers to build their commitment to Community Conservation Livelihood

Agreements (CCLAs).

 IFACS Grant 019

– Yayasan Cakrawala Indonesia.

YCI has completed much of its project, including participatory mapping, the signing of seven CCLAs and BMP training for villagers. (Some adjusments to the program were needed as some hypotheses written in the technical proposal have become obselete.

The M&E evaluation team has recommended that IFACS and the grantee revisit the grant agreement and program framework to identify modifications required to enable the grantee to meet its objectives.) Meanwhile, the views of beneficiaries revealed overall satisfaction with YCI as facilitator of the village mapping program. The results of the mapping activities will be used by the villagers as a basis for rural development planning, especially for the RPJMDes (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Desa, or

Village Medium-Term Development Planning ).

 IFACS Grant 024

– Lembaga Dayak Panarung

.

Four rubber farmer business groups ( Kelompok Usaha Bersama Karet ) have been established in the four target villages. The groups will support the collective marketing of rubber, which will effectively eliminate middlemen in the marketing process and enable farmers to receive a better prices for their rubber products.

IFACS this quarter intiated collaboration with PT Bridgestone to encourage the rubber processor to buy directly from local farmers and to provide guidance for farmers on standards to promote rubber quality improvement through an apprenticeship program. The M&E findings showed the grantee is considered to


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 31

have the necessary knowledge on rubber issues, but needs training in the area of value chain development.

 IFACS Grant 021 - POKKER SHK .

Four villages in Pulang Pisau District have received Forest Village Management

Rights ( Hak Pengelolaan Hutan Desa) from the Central Kalimantan governor. The grantee worked closely with the Forest Village Board ( Lembaga Pengelola Hutan

Desa or LPHD) to support capacity building of LPHD and its engagement with the district and provincial government on policy and budget managemen. The M&E team has recommended that IFACS regional staff modify their strategies to strengthen support of the development and implementation of the village forest management plan due to inadequate assistance provided by the grantee.

 IFACS Grant 016 – PtPPMA.

Participatory mapping activities in Sarmi, Papua, have provided a solid foundation for improved forest management and increased awareness among indigenous communities of the critical role they can play in protecting forests in and around their villages. The program has also worked to strengthen tribal institutions to increase their engagement in conservation activities. A follow- up program is needed to effectively pursue IFACS objectives to improve forest management at the village level.

 IFACS Grant 18 – Yayasan ASRI.

The endline survey conducted by ASRI shows 98% of farmers involved in the organic farming training program are successfully practicing sustainable farming in their family plots. Some of the farmers are selling their organic vegetables and organic fertilizers in the local market. The grantee was encouraged to note that none of farmers who participated in the program have resumed logging activities in adjacent forests.


The low quality of activities reporting continues to pose challenges in monitoring progress in the field. The M&E team must continue efforts to build an evaluative culture among regional staff. This can be done through regular discussions and internal staff meeting to discuss progress and achievements. M&E coordinators can assist the process using MIS data.


The M&E team must continue efforts to build an evaluative culture among regional IFACS staff. This can be done through regular discussions and internal staff meetings to discuss progress and achievements. M&E work will include closer evaluation of IFACS activities, especially as many activities are expected to have generated results as they approach completion. Participatory monitoring and evaluation approaches will be further promoted among technical staff, as well as grantees and subcontractors, to gather more input and stories from the field. In addition, the M&E team will coordinate with component team leaders and regional advisors to provide staff with report writing assistance.

P a g e | 35

The new grant projects started on Feb. 25 and will run for a 10-month period until Dec. 24,

2014.

The IFACS grants team supervised grants through regional staff assigned as Person-in-

Charge (PiC) for each grantee. IFACS management in Jakarta prepared grants coordination guidelines and conducted a two-day capacity building workshop in March for the PiCs from the regional offices M&E regional coordinators and Community Development Specialists and

IFACS Jakarta managers also participated.

Sustainable livelihoods and forest protection

While many grantees reported implementation delays this quarter, there were some notable achievements among several grant activities. In the Aceh Selatan landscape, KKSP

( Kelompok Kerja Sosial Perkotaan ) successfully assisted two women self-help organizations

(SHGs) in two villages to establish cooperatives as vehicles for enhancing small household businesses to increase family incomes.

In Ketapang Landscape in West Kalimantan, the ASRI Foundation secured and leveraged in-kind support from the district government to support three SHGs, providing 56 cows, two grass choppers, one hand tractor, and one organic rice packing machine. The ASRI

Foundation also successfully implemented training in sustainable farming to 14 farmer groups that have helped to reduce farmers spending on fertilizers and pesticides.

The IFACS grant to YOSL-OIC supported community agroforestry, reforestation and education and restores 56 hectares of degraded land and preserved 50 hectares of forest in

Gunung Leuser National Park through the planting of 655,891 saplings of various tree species.

Community Conservation Livelihood Agreements (CCLA)

To date a total of 51 CCLAs have been developed and signed to date by forest communities in all the IFACS landscapes.

Grantees continued facilitating participatory mapping activities to support CCLA development in target villages. CCLAs were signed in 23 grantee villages this quarter.

Grantee Yayasan Ekosistem Leuser dan Pemberdayaan Ekononomi Daerah (YELPED) in

Aceh Tenggara landscape completed CCLAs in four villages, YOSL-OIC completed CCLAs in six villages. In Ketapang Landscape (West Kalimantan), Yayasan Dian Tama (YDT) completed CCLAs in four villages and SUAR Institute has developed CCLAs in two villages.

Yayasan Cakrawala Indonesia (YCI) in Katingan landscape completed CCLAs in their seven target villages.

Grants Program Highlights

IFACS grantee KKSP facilitated women’s groups to establish cooperatives in three villages.

This is part of CCLA implementation for the sustainable livelihoods. Prior to the cooperative’s establishment, staff of Dinas Koperasi of Aceh Selatan socialized the basic philosophy of cooperatives to improve understanding of the community on this issue. The three cooperatives will benefit the livelihoods of 137 people: 48 people in Kedai Rundeng village, 41 people in Lubuk Layu, and 48 people in Pasie Lembang. At present, KKSP is developing a tool for conducting a market survey in the local area related to community’s priority products: soybeans, vegetables, and mung beans.

IFACS grantee Aceh Development Fund (ADF) held training for 133 honeybee farmers on quality standards (i.e. SNI), packaging and marketing for honey. ADF conducted the training sequentially in three villages, of which 28% of beneficiaries were female. Participants were enthusiastic about the training, because they anticipate that they can produce higher quality bee honey with better quality packaging for the market.

Yayasan Ekosistem Leuser dan Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Daerah (YELPED) just completed a CCLA and Village regulation on natural resource conservation. Through a series of activities such as meeting with village communities and field work for participatory mapping,

YELPED facilitated the commitment from 4 villages to conserve high conservation value

(HCV) areas while practicing sustainable livelihood. This was written into and signed in the

CCLA document.

IFACS grantee Pusat Gerakan dan Advokasi Rakyat (PUGAR) trained its staff in CCLA facilitation processes. They now have the capacity to facilitate community conservation activities to protect HCV areas in their villages. PUGAR has also procured forest tree seedlings and has distributed them to villages for rehabilitation of critical land adjacent to the

National Park of Gunung Leuser (TNGL).

Grantee YDT has completed four CCLAs for their target villages. This is a follow up to the workshop training on CCLA facilitated by IFACS in Ketapang Landscape, West Sumatra, in

January 2014. All IFACS grantees in the Ketapang Landscape participated in the workshop.

This consisted of four former grantees (YDT, Yayasan Palung, Gemawan, and ASRI) and two new grantees (SAMPAN, CKK-YUSABA). Each of the grantees came up with action plans on developing CCLA in their respective working areas.

Grantee ASRI completed its one-year project as of January and successfully achieved the project targets of organizing 10 farmer groups across seven villages that consisted of 10 hamlets. ASRI trained a total of 144 farming members on organic farming systems with a focus on conserving forests and soil fertility. Some of the group members are also took on the role of forest friend ( Sahut ), who voluntarily watch and monitor forests and the national park areas on the border areas.

Following the CCLA Facilitation training for IFACS grantees in January in West Kalimantan, grantee Gemawan organized meetings with communities in three villages to socialize the

CCLA and get a response from the communities. These meetings were attended by a total of 102 villagers, of which 12 people (approx. 12%) were women. Of these, three villages welcomed the CCLA process. The Village Chief of Siduk Village was reluctant to support

CCLA development because of a past bad experience with political parties promising support to the villagers that resulted in them being cheated.

In addition, Gemawan organized training in rubber cultivation management for villagers, with

24 people participating, including 5 women (21%). Following the training, Gemawan established farmer groups to advance agroforestry improvement. Gemawan has also organized communities to fight fires that damaged their rubber plantation. The fires had spread from neighboring shrubs within the park zone (TNGP). Community could not control the fire due to limited equipment, so they proposed to the TNGP to construct an irrigation that can be used to fight fires.

Grantee SUAR Institute in West Kalimantan also completed CCLAs in two target villages following West Kalimantan training. Together with the communities, the grantee has been


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 37

able to map out some important areas with HCV and came up with community agreement to conserve those areas.

IFACS grantee YCI in Central Kalimantan just completed seven CCLAs signed after a series of activities conducted since October 2013. Following the agreement signing, the grantee organized multi-stakeholder meetings in the villages to build collaborative management regarding village borders, land use planning, and conservation of HCV areas. This was the second forum held in the village engaging relevant government agencies and Sinabung

National Park. About 20 villagers attended the meeting, wherein each village representative presented their current land use plan to conserve natural resources and practice sustainable livelihoods.

YCI organized a training of trainer (TOT) program for selected farmers that represent the seven villages on good management practices for rubber and rattan. 20 male farmers attended the training. It was containing guidance on how to train farmers and some technical issues related to cultivation and harvesting of rattan and rubber.

IFACS grantee YAPEDA in Mimika district of Papua is in the process of developing village regulations on mangrove and rainforest conservation. This is an effort to link with the development of regulations at the district level regarding mangrove protection. A series of dialogues with local government and study on literature are held to draft the regulation at the sub-district level. YAPEDA also trained communities on best management practices of mangrove forest for them to utilize while conserving the forest.




Most grants are presently behind schedule due to various reasons, including weak internal project management, internal c onflict and management issues and ‘clogging’ of communication and coordination between grantees

– person-in-charge – regional management – grants team / Jakarta management. Delays were also caused by election-related tensions, social unrest and heavy rains that restricted seed planting activities and caused landslides.



Most IFACS grants have been awarded to small local NGOs with limited capacity in project management as well as in administrative and technical capacity which, to some extent, contribute to slow and delayed project implementation

Training and Capacity Building

IFACS facilitated the following training programs this quarter:

SEA-LEDS Development

The SEA-LEDS development training aims to promote the integration of SEA results into district spatial plans.

IFACS subcontractors YIPD and URS continued to conduct SEA-LEDS technical workshops in the project’s focal districts. SEA-LEDS training in Papua and Aceh were completed this quarter and were well attended by MSF and local government

(Bappeda, PU, Agriculture, Forestry, and BLH) representatives. Training in the Kalimantan landscapes will continue next quarter.

Community Forest Fire Prevention Training

IFACS continued to work closely with the Palangkaraya local government this quarter to conduct training to improve firefighting and fire prevention capacity through identification of hot spots . Training participants included community members from 34 villages that joined

TSAK (Tim Serbu Api Kelurahan), the community volunteer firefighting team.

Geographical Information System (GIS)

Following the Intermediate GIS technical trainings last year, the IFACS GIS team this quarter began preparing materials to develop Raster Data Spatial Management and GPS training to begin next quarter. The training sessions were followed by mentoring of Spatial

Data Infrastructure (SDI) working groups to support establishment of SDI networks, whose members will include the SKPD (Satuan Kerja Perangkat Daerah or Regional Working Units) and NGOs .

IFACS subcontractor WWF introduced mapping methodology and GIS training to the SKP

(Sekretariat Keadilan dan Perdamaian, or Secretariat of Justice and Peace) of Agats

Diocese in Asmat District.

Community Conservation and Livelihood Agreements (CCLAs)

IFACS facilitated CCLA training workshops for grantees in Ketapang, Aceh and Katingan to increase grantees’ understanding of CCLA development and provide guidance on how to formulate effective CCLA action plans in their work areas.

Carbon Project Development.

IFACS subcontractor PT. Hydro Program International conducted Carbon Development

Project training in Timika, Ketapang and Brastagi. Over 150 participants from IFACS grantees and subcontractors, local government, MSF and community representatives attended training workshops. The workshops resulted in identification of candidate projects to reduce GHG emissions in each district and a basic understanding of the steps required in


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 39

designing carbon projects for potential funding such as REDD+. Additional technical training and mentoring to deepen understanding of the same participants will be conducted next quarter.

CCVA Training

IFACS subcontractor FIELD continue its Training of Trainer programs to develop Climate

Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) action plans, also known as RAPI (Rencana Aksi

Perubahan Iklim). Following the ToT activities, RAPI field facilitators in the project landscapes in Aceh, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan and Papua conducted

Sustainable Livelihood Assessments (SLA) to be used for producing climate change adaptation plans in 90 targeted villages. SLA-RAPI activities were completed in 36 villages this quarter, bringing to 81 the total villages to date where RAPIs have been completed.

Community Livelihooods

IFACS subcontractors and grantees provided training to promote sustainable farming practices to help improve livelihoods of forest-dependent communities. Swiss contact

Indonesia Foundation (SIF) implemented the second phase of CocoBEST (Cocoa for Better

Livelihood & Ecosystem) training for additional target groups: 1,600 smallholder cocoa farmers in 33 selected villages in Aceh Selatan, Aceh Tenggara and Gayo Lues. In this quarter SIF conducted TOT for 56 farmers (27 in Gayo Lues, 19 in Aceh Selatan and 10 in

Aceh Tenggara). TOT aims to improve the ability of participants to mentor additional cacao farmers through the field school process. Trained farmers will guide and facilitate field schools for 56 farmers groups, each group consisting of 25-35 farmers. (Note: The first phase of CocoBEST conducted ToT and Farmer Field Schools for 800 cocoa farmers.

These activities were completed last year.)

Training this quarter was also provided to improve cultivation techniques for other local commodities such as rattan and rubber. The training programs aim to improve the ability of farmers to cultivate and market their crops. Training next quarter will be directed at market development to expand market access for shareholder farmers’ products.

Communications & Public Outreach


Monthly Thematic Meetings

IFACS outreach activities this quarter focused on creating opportunities for diverse groups to come together to share their concerns and experiences about changes to their livelihoods in response to environmental and economic pressures, and in the process, develop goals and plans for overcoming obstacles.

These opportunities came in the guise of Monthly Thematic Meetings with the objective of introducing and discussing issues related to climate change and designing action plans to address climate change. Participants included members of the government, civil society, community and media. Qualitative interviews conducted with those living in IFACS landscapes showed that they are very willing to make changes to their livelihoods and lifestyle and feel a responsibility to do so in light of climate change but would like more information on how they can do so. The meetings have been developed to operate similar to

Town Hall discussions, providing individuals with opportunities to share experiences and concerns, and receive appropriate information so they can make changes they will benefit from. Meetings have been effectively convened in Ketapang, Sarmi and Katingan landscapes and will be rolled out soon in Aceh and Mimika.

Some of the highlights of these meetings included:

Networks and relationships formed between government officials and communities/civil society groups that enabled action on multiple levels

Results of a meeting in Ketapang landscape to discuss the different points of collaboration for the communities and regional and national governments in conserving

Gunung Palung National Park:



The bupati of Kayong Utara District will look into installing clearer rules for managing the Park’s buffer zones and will present Kayong Utara District’s spatial plan to the local House of Representative.



IFACS grantee Yayasan Palung formed a partnership with the local Forestry

Department, which will donate seedlings to reforest/rehabilitate areas in the park under Yayasan Palung’s care.



IFACS grantee Yayasan ASRI, working closely with Sahabat Hutan , a forest patrol team of community volunteers organized by ASRI to monitor forest activities to discourage illegal logging, will participate actively in this collaboration.

Another meeting in Ketapang landscape focused on encouraging local community members to share best management practices that have resulted in reduced emissions. Yayasan

Palung is working with a local mechanic who designed a minihydroelectric ‘pico-hydro’ machine that generates 550 watts of elecrtricity to submit a proposal to the regional government for funding support to develop more low-emission electric generators for communities in Kayong Utara District.

P a g e | 41

Low-emission activities adopted by communities to enhance communal pride and ensure activities are sustained



Other meetings focused on highlighting low-emission activities, such as eradicating slash-and-burn, using organic fertilizers, and relying on hydroelectric generators, which had already been adopted by local communities to increase communal pride and impress on communities that these are activities they can take on themselves successfully. For example, one meeting focused on the experiences of villagers in

Pampang, West Kalimantan, who abandoned shifting cultivation and slash-and-burn techniques for cultivating fish and rice farms in the lowland and degraded areas.

They shared how this shift raised their quality of life by increasing their incomes and production, but without harming the environment.



Government officials were also made aware of how far villagers have come in terms of implementing low-emission activities and have been able to identify which areas they can support further development. Dodik, a West Kalimantan spatial planning officer with Dinas Pekerjaan Umum said: “Now that we know the potential of LEDS in

Kabupaten Kayong Utara and what these strategies can do for the community, we can include LEDS in regional spatial plans.



In Sarmi, initial meetings focused on highlighting local/indigenous knowledge for adapting to and mitigating climate change. The focus on local experiences was instrumental in getting local communities to attend and engage actively in the

Meetings. Interest from local media soon followed with the local radio station featuring a live broadcast of the second meeting and offering to broadcast future meetings. The meetings have also showed increasingly greater engagement by the

MSF, with more members attending recent meetings. The MSF also informed IFACS that it would take charge of organizing future community meetings.

Religious and Community Leaders’ Engagement

According to a BBC Media Action survey 1 , nearly all Indonesians said following their religious and moral beliefs was important to them (99%), while 52% said it was their most important value. In addition, drawing on traditional values and ways of life was valued by nearly everyone (94%). These characteristics and beliefs are aligned with those held by communities in IFACS landscapes. IFACS is, therefore, working to expand engagement with religious and community leaders throughout the project landscapes. In West Kalimantan,

IFACS convened a workshop introducing climate change issues to 43 selected religious, cultural, and community leaders, engaging them to include climate change messages in their sermons and interactions with their respective congregations. Participants were enthusiastic and resulted in leaders from 15 villages pledging to introduce climate change messages to their congregations (IFACS had initially targeted five villages.) Workshop participants also expressed interest in working with IFACS to produce communications materials in print

(billboards, sermon sheets, factsheets, posters) and video, in addition to face-to-face engagement at community meetings, sermons, and informal discussions in the villages.

Comunication through village leaders should reach at least 3,000 villagers.

In Papua, both Mimika and Sarmi IFACS teams have started working with religious and cultural leaders to develop sermons and sermon sheets for distribution. IFACS aims to distribute the sheets in the next quarter and will be monitoring the religious and cultural leaders in terms of the messages they distribute and the numbers of people they reach.

Community Journalists Workshop

Residents in IFACS landscapes have commented that there is a dearth of information about environmental issues related to their landscape. Local newspapers have limited space dedicated to covering environmental issues, and many articles tend to discuss issues superficially or cursorily, said residents. A few MSFs, in particular the Kayong Utara MSF, have reached out to the IFACS communications team suggesting that residents play a larger role in documenting environmental issues within their landscapes.

IFACS convened a twoday community journalists’ workshop in Kayong Utara in January.

Participants included MSF members who are active journalists/bloggers, communications personnel from IFACS grantees and community members ranging from village leaders, teachers and students. The aim of the workshop was to introduce methods of writing (such as the inverted pyramid) that would help present issues in an engaging and concise manner, teach interview techniques for better extraction of content and basic web design for creating online blogs. After the conclusion of the workshop, participants set up a blog called Matan

Review , where they posted articles they have written. So far, more than 20 articles have been posted. These articles touch on issues ranging from low-emission development strategies that have been implemented by community members to forest and biodiversity conservation efforts that have been undertaken.

IFACS aims to roll out similar workshops in Central Kalimantan and Aceh. We also aim to hold capacity-building workshops for accredited journalists working in print and audiovisual media to enhance the quality of writing of environmental issues and increase the scope of reporting on such issues in the various landscapes.

Project Communications

The IFACS website was revamped in December 2013 to enable readers to access information about IFACS in a more user-friendly and effective way. The revamp involved beefing up information about what IFACS does, where IFACS works, who we work with, and the major issues surrounding climate change and forests presented in simple yet engaging language. Page views have averaged around 2,000 each month since the revamp, or double the numbers seen before the revamp.

IFACS has also started distributing a climate change book, which looks at major issues surrounding climate change and forests, to MSF members, selected schools and NGOs. The book is aimed at informing stakeholders with little or no knowledge about climate change about the impacts of climate change, how forests play a part in helping us adapt to and mitigate such impacts, and how communities and people can play a part in conservation.

In a bid to keep information that is disseminated about IFACS current, we have developed landscape brochures that take readers through IFACS goals and provides updated information about the work done by grantees, sub-contractors, and IFACS direct implementers. We will also develop maps that showcase key indicators, such as number of hectares under improved forest management, to provide a visual representation of IFACS work that complements the content of the IFACS landscape brochure.


Where MSFs have been a reticent in supporting or joining IFACS’ communication activities, we have rallied support and interest from grantees, civil society organizations, NGOs and community members. We have learned that by focusing on available interest and generating activities around such interest, we have been able to create a snowball effect in getting key

MSF members to participate in future events and activities. We saw this happening in

Ketapang and Sarmi landscapes, where grantees or community members started off engaging the public by hosting Monthly Thematic Meetings, which then took on a life of their own with MSF members and members of the media requesting to be a part of the meetings.


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 43

We are confident the same will happen in the Aceh, Katingan, and Mimika landscapes where MSF participation in communication activities have been inconsistent as we start organizing and hosting Monthly Thematic Meetings in these landscapes.


Communications, by increasing knowledge and awareness, can change attitudes and behavioral patterns away from business-as-usual practices amongst stakeholders, and this plays a pivotal role in the success and sustainability of activities started by IFACS. Related to this is the identification of the right communication tool for reaching out to and engaging with target audiences.

In Indonesia, television or visual aids are the most popular type of media, with more than

90% of Indonesians watching television, or a type of visual media, daily, according to a BBC report 2 . IFACS, therefore, plans to commission videos explaining the links between emissions reduction and climate change impacts, and how low emission development on degraded land can help mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. This involves looking at activities connected with peatland and forest conservation, and seeing how good governance and good forest management can help foster such conservation and result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions. These videos will examine necessary components of good governance, such as effective spatial planning, efficient low emission development plans, the creation of stron g local stakeholders’ networks and what constitutes good forest management, such as encouraging best management practices among private sector companies and improving local livelihoods that do not result in deforestation.

IFACS LANDSCAPES

Aceh Selatan Landscape

Landscape Profile

The IFACS Aceh Selatan landscape covers 500,000 hectares, stretching 100 kilometers along the western coast of Aceh and extending inland to the lower slopes of Bukit Barisan

Mountain Range. Due to the mountainous terrain and narrow coastal strip, a sustainable watershed approach will be critical to mitigating climate change risks and optimizing land suitability for conservation and development within the landscape.


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 45

The landscape primarily covers the entire Aceh Selatan District and project activities are focused on providing support to the district government to promote sustainable spatial planning and Low-Emission Development Strategies (LEDS). Project field staff work closely with multi-stakeholder forums and civil society partners, providing technical assistance through grants and subcontracts to develop climate change adaptation measures and alternative livelihoods that support conservation of forest resources.


The re-established MSF in Aceh Selatan, FORLAST ( Forum Landscape Aceh Selatan ), formalized its structure and action plans in a workshop on Feb 24-25 that drew stakeholders from local communities, district government, private sector, and academia. Local government officials, including the Vice Bupati for Aceh Selatan District and the MSF head who is the Aceh Selatan Secretary of the Forestry and Plantation Department, played a critical role in reconfiguring the MSF. A bupati decree ( SK Bupati ) is currently being drafted for FORLAST. The forum has formally declared and socialized its purpose, mission and planned agenda for addressing conservation and climate change adaptation and mitigation issues. It has also provided valuable input for the Aceh Selatan Landscape Conservation

Plan (LCP), which will be used in the evaluation of the SEA for the district spatial plan.

YIPD has continued providing technical assistance for SEA-LEDS work in Aceh Selatan

District, accompanying the SEA team on field visits to document impacts of the spatial plan, as well as in working sessions. SEA work in Aceh Selatan, led by Bappeda, has completed integration of critical parts of the SEA document into the district Spatial Plan document, especially those pertaining to flooding. Opportunities for further integration are available as the Spatial Plan has yet to be ratified by the House of Representatives (DPRK). However, the DPRK has demanded that the SEA document be completed in April. Bappeda has included increased funds in the draft budget for 2014 to support the SEA and GIS teams following the bupati decrees authorizing their establishment. Funds allocated are for salary supplements not allowable under USAID funding.

CCLA development work this quarter emphasized the HCV approach to mapping important areas for conservation and in draft conservation agreements for four villages in Aceh

Selatan: Jambo Papeun, Panton Luas, Krueng Kalee and Paya Ateuk. CCLA documents are awaiting the final review and approval of the villages.

Subcontractor FIELD conducted Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments and Action

Planning in 15 villages in Aceh Selatan this quarter. These activities included a series of small pioneer actions ( Aksi Rintisan ) in eight villages (Ruak, Lhok Sialang Rayeuk, Kuta

Buloh II, Air Pinang, Drien Jalo, Ie Dingin, Lhok Reukam and Panton Luas), such as rehabilitation of degraded land and safeguarding the region’s water sources.

In the 2,700 hectare Trumon corridor that links Leuser National Park and Singkil wildlife reserve in the south of Aceh Selatan landscape, IFACS subcontractor Yayasan Leuser

Indonesia (YLI) has developed a nursery to provide seedlings to restore degraded lands to expand orangutan habitat. Seedlings will be planted in 200 hectares of land inside the corridor area and 100 hectares of village land adjacent to the area targeted for restoration.

About 40 farmers who received training in organic fertilizer making, preparation of land, seedlings and other general silvicultural technique will oversee the growth of the seedlings to ensure successful rehabilitation of the degraded land.

IFACS work with cocoa farmers this quarter took on a new focus this quarter on linking smallholder farmers to cocoa buyers and upgrading cocoa products to increase farmer incomes. A three-day workshop in Banda Aceh led by IFACS and Swisscontact Foundation

Indonesia (YSI) was attended by representatives of the nine Village Cacao Clinics (VCC) developed by subcontractor Yayasan Swisscontact Indonesia, the heads of Sahabat Cipta

Foundation, YSI CocoBEST staff, local traders of cacao buyer PT Cacao Ventures

Indonesia (PT CVI), Forest and Plantation Agency, Trade and Industry Agency, and

Agriculture Extension and Food Security Agency of all three focal districts in the Aceh landscape (Gayo Lues, Aceh Tenggara and Aceh Selatan) and the South Aceh Cacao

Forum (SECF). The workshop clarified understanding and consensus between all stakeholders about roles and expected functions of the VCC as a model farm and cocoa seedling nursery managed by farmers trained through the CocoBEST project. Each VCC presented a business plan/model and gained professional feedback from expert local resources and IFACS consultants. Key VCC services will include improving cacao stock, seedling production and compost fertilizer sales. As most of these business activities will be new for the VCC, IFACS will provide further training in the third quarter. Links between

CocoBest farmers and the private sector has also progressed well. PT CVI has specific buying requirements for certified sustainably produced products and has agreed to work with farmers to promote sustainable cocoa production.

Swisscontact Indonesia also conducted their Training of Trainers (ToT) for field schools to intensify cacao cultivation as part of the CocoBEST-II program. The ToT evaluated participants ’ abilities to guides farmers through field school training, and produced 22 master trainers to implement CocoBEST-II, which aims to train 1,600 additional cacao farmers in the two Aceh landscapes. Data on all of these farmers has been collected by Swisscontact and input in a management information system.

An IFACS STTA has conducted an assessment of opportunities for ecotourism development in Aceh Selatan, meeting with local stakeholders related to tourism or potential tourist asset management, including YLI/CRU in the Trumon Corridor, and LTTA (Lhok-Rukam

Tapaktuan Tourism Association). Development of ‘green economy tourism’ has great potential in Aceh Selatan and includes elephant patrols and jungle tracking but would require significant capacity development and marketing.

IFACS subcontractor PT Hydro Program International held MSF the first of two training events to introduce principles of carbon project development to IFACS grantees and subcontractors, government officials, community leaders, USFS carbon stock training alumni and to identify potential carbon projects that aim to conserve carbon-rich forests and peatlands and reduce deforestation through project financing and incentives schemes (such as REDD+).




Political tensions and violence in Aceh Selatan in the run-up to the April 9 legislative elections has prompted IFACS to issue a no night-time travel policy for staff and increased vigilance in the field with partners. Killings, kidnappings, torture and office burnings fueled by political rivalry has significantly affected IFACS progress this quarter. Grants and subcontractors have had to reduce their field activities and postpone planned activities until after the elections.



Turnover of government staff continues to delay IFACS implementation, as new staff require time to learn about IFACS activities. The Aceh team has been able to bridge these difficulties and maintain a degree of SEA working group capacity.



Development of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) requires coordination with the

National Mapping Agency ( Badan Informasi Geospasial ) in Jakarta. Synchronizing a suitable time to introduce this initiative has been challenging.



The development of spatial data management systems in the district need to be designed in conjunction with SDI institutionalization processes and tailored to local conditions. This design can be started with the identification of the role of each SKPD including the establishment of a spatial data clearing house and data storage unit.




Public consultation to discuss SEA progress in the Aceh Selatan District and dissemination of results from impacts assessment of the spatial plan and discussion of potential alternative scenarios that reduce emissions.



Sign boards in Aceh Selatan villages that have signed CCLAs to demonstrate community commitment for forest conservation.



FORLAST will work with 15 villages in Aceh Tenggara and Gayo Lues Districts to develop CCLAs, with mapping support from the the emerging government SDI team.



IFACS will facilitate value-chain workshops to improve nutmeg production, promote sustainable agriculture and expand market linkages for nutmeg farmers in Aceh

Selatan.



CocoBEST-II field school in 33 villages will train 1,600 cocoa farmers in Aceh

Selatan and Aceh Tenggara landscapes.



FIELD will conduct workshops for government and local stakeholders to provide guidance in developing CCVA action plans for in four additional villages in Aceh

Selatan.

Aceh Tenggara Landscape


The IFACS Aceh Tenggara landscape covers 937,000 hectares and extends across two districts, with 59 percent of the landscape falling in Gayo Lues District, and the remainder in the Aceh Tenggara District. Most of the Gunung Leuser National Park and a significant


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 49

portion of the Leuser Ecosystem are located within the landscape. The district is known for its patchouli industry and cacao and coffee plantations.

Agricultural land in the Aceh

Tenggara landscape valleys is limited, and farming activities are causing expansion pressure and forest encroachment. Illegal logging also poses a major threat to the landscape. However, due to the unique set of conditions in this landscape – its remote location, steep topography and limited population of farmers – there is great potential to promote LEDS and capitalize on the natural wealth and relative environmental stability of the region in order to reduce the potential of climate change disasters and develop high-quality and specialized products.


The MSF in Gayo Lues (FMUL – Forum Masyarakat Uten Leuser ) continues to be actively engaged in all aspects of the IFACS project. FMUL has concluded communications campaigns to promote climate change awareness in 20 schools in Blang Kejeren and Blang

Pegayon that reached more than 2,000 students and 88 teachers. FMUL also worked with the district environmental office to support a district regulation for environmental protection

( Qanun Lingkungan Hidup ). Following the b upati’s decision, the district disseminated regulations for forest fire prevention throughout the entire district. The district government also allocated funding to support these activities. FMUL facilitated an important coordination meeting for the bupati, vice-bupati, all heads of district departments and IFACS partners

(grantees and subcontractors) to discuss forest conservation priorities in Gayo Lues District.

IFACS subcontractor YIPD continues to provide technical assistance for SEA and LEDS development in Gayo Lues and Aceh Tenggara Districts. As with Aceh Selatan they have accompanied the local government SEA team in field visits to document impacts of the spatial plan. YIPD is also providing guidance in SEA writing. SEA teams in the Aceh region are now all preparing for public consultation of their SEA-LEDS findings. GIS Intermediate training and SEA-LEDS training were conducted this quarter by GIS specialist to FOLAT and

FMUL GIS Forum, which were attended by 22 participants. The training aims to improve capacity building in Spatial Planning, Spatial Data Management and to support SEA planning. IFACS grantee PELAGIS has extended training to remote sensing for satellite imaging data processing to categorize land cover in Gayo Lues needed to monitor deforestation. This training workshop was attended by 25 members of the Gayo Lues GIS

Forum.

Both the MSF in Gayo Lues and Aceh Tenggara have defined focus areas in their

Landscape Conservation Plans (LCP) and conservation activities that aim to reduce conservation threats in these areas. IFACS has developed a SOW for some of these pilot activities that will be implemented next quarter.

IFACS grantee YELPED has finalized CCLA documents in nine villages in Aceh Tenggara

District (Kute Rambe, Lawe Malum, Lawe Stul, Rambah Sayang, Tuah Meusade, Aunan

Sepakat, Jati Sara, Jamur Lak-lak, Penungkunen and Leuser village) have been finalized.

YELPED has also produced four village regulations to strengthen the CCLA and HCV maps.

Draft documents for five villages in Gayo Lues will be signed after further discussions in each community.

Subcontractor FIELD this quarter developed CCVA action plans ( RAPI ) in 15 villages in the

Aceh Tenggara landscape. Small seed funding was used to pioneer climate change

adaptation actions, including the rehabilitation of degraded land and clean water system or resource maintenance. FIELD will follow these assist communities to develop further actions through increased seed funding and leveraging from government sources throughout 2104.

The MSF FOLAT and communities from three villages (Lawe Mengkudu, Peseluk Pesimbe,

Lawe Loning Aman) have been planted 21000 seedlings to rehabilitate 200 ha of critical or degraded land on their villages. The activity was a collaborative effort between FoLAT as lead implementer, IFACS providing transportation and distribution support, BPDAS Sei

Wampu providing seedlings, and the local community from three villages.

As in Aceh Selatan, IFACS STTA conducted assessment of ecotourism potential in Aceh

Tenggara districts that involved meetings with various stakeholders including, head of district tourism offices, MSFs and small business owners in Aceh Tenggara and Gayo Lues

Districts.

Livelihoods development through grantees has progressed well this quarter. Grantee

PUGAR has conducted land restoration workshops for rehabilitation of watershed areas and has planted about 30,000 seedlings in more than 200 hectares in target villages. IFACS staff also held capacity building training sessions for PUGAR field staffs to provide guidance on conducting CCLAs in target villages.

The Orangutan Information Center (OIC) program on Community, Agroforestry,

Reforestation and Education has completed an internal control system (ICS) for the certification of organic cocoa farms in four villages- Ketambe, Simpur jaya, Lawe Aunan and

Darul Makmur. This certification to verify sustainable cacao production and aims to open up local cacao products to international markets. OIC has also provided microfinance support and established community microfinance groups for cocoa farming villages and produced a documentary film on the importance of forest conservation and climate change adaptation.

The Aceh Green Community (AGC), a new IFACS grantee, has developed a work plan and timeline, identified target villages and began implementing their baseline and market survey to develop sugar palm in Gayo Lues District.

Subcontractor YSI has identified potential target villages under their modified and extended scope of work and conducted Training of Trainers (ToT) sessions for farmer trainers from the VCC (Village Cocoa Clinic developed under CocoBEST I), BKP3 (Agriculture

Extensionists form the Local Food Security Agency) and other participants. A total of 40 trainers attended the five-day training. Under this program, the trained farmers will use field school methods to train an additional 1,600 cocoa farmers from 33 villages in the CocoBEST

II project in sustainable agriculture practices. The workshop also aimed to develop the VCC as a cocoa business unit within the villages, that could service farmers, develop their growing capacity and link them to cocoa buyers.

IFACS subcontractor PT. Hydro Project International this quarter introduced its carbon project training to representatives of IFACS grantees and subcontractors, district government officials, community leaders and the MSF. Potential carbon development projects in the landscape have been identified.

Ketapang Landscape


The IFACS Ketapang landscape is located in the southern part of West Kalimantan

Province and covers a total area of 1.9 million hectares, comprising Gunung Palung

National Park and the focal districts of Melawi, Ketapang and Kayong Utara. Ecosystems within the landscape are among the most diverse in Indonesia, including large areas of


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 53

lowland and hill dipterocarp tropical forests, and support a wide variety of birds and mammal species, including dense populations of orangutans.

Extensive peat swaqp forests stretch from the northwest and south of Gunung Palung

National Park and down the coast to Ketapang City. These peatlands still retain forest cover but large areas have been gazetted for conversion to oil palm plantations. The landscape has significant areas designated for conversion, and illegal logging and fires pose additional threats to the landscape.

Expansion of the oil palm and mining sectors has driven much of the economic growth in

Ketapang, while other natural resource industries (such as the timber industry) have declined due to forest degradation resulting from mismanagement, illegal logging and encroachment by other resource users. This emphasizes the need for IFACS to focus on improved forest governance for future sustainability and a rezoning of forest areas through spatial plans aimed at improving management practices.


Regular “sunset discussions” with the MSFs in Ketapang and Kayong Utara (KKU) Districts this quarter have resulted in greater collaboration on conservation activities among MSF members in the Gunung Palung buffer zone and in the development of ecotourism in the region. The MSFs have also supported various outreach activities, including a photo exhibition event of forest and bird conservation efforts in Ketapang forests, communications training with print media organizations in KKU and a series of climate change discussions covered by local media through a network of journalists who regularly participated in these events.

In collaboration with the MSFs, Flora and Fauna International (FFI) and World Wildlife Fund

(WWF), IFACS conducted a workshop, successfully engaging 34 religious, traditional and community leaders to discuss climate change messages they have agreed to disseminate to local communities in the Ketapang landscape. The enthusiastic participants were invited through coordinating with IFACS grantees – ASRI, CARITAS, Dian Tama, Gemawan,

Palung, SAMPAN and SUAR Institute – from 15 villages within the three focal districts

(Ketapang, Melawi and Kayong Utara) in the landscape.

Enthusiasm for the SEA process is improving greatly with the progression of each workshop that is achieving increased understanding among stakeholders. All districts in the Ketapang landscape have now completed the assessment of the current spatial plan and potential alternative scenarios that will form the basis of SEA recommendations. Writing teams for each district are preparing draft SEA documents that will be reviewed next quarter in district public consultations, which aim to gain public support for integrating SEA recommendations into district spatial plans.

The Landscape Consultation Plan (LCP) for Ketapang has identified several focal areas for conservation efforts, and the MSF has started initial activities to implement a HCV field survey and plant tree seedlings for orangutan feeding. The villages in the targeted HCV areas have been consulted to identify HCV 5 & 6 (areas important for the provision of communites’ basic needs and cultural identity), relevant stakeholder interests and to identify threats and problems.

Village Farmers support forest conservation efforts in Gunung Palung

National Park

WEST KALIMANTAN -

For farmers in Pampang Harapan Village on the outskirts of Gunung Palung National

Park in West Kalimantan, the slopes of Mount Pramas inside the park have long offered fertile soils for growing their crops.

Now, with the support of IFACS grantee Yayasan Gunung Palung and the local village government, a group of 13 farmers have declared that in cooperation with the

NGO’s forest conservation efforts, they will no longer continue farming on the mountain. The farmers’ decision to move their farming activities to fields outside the national park, is a result of Palung’s successful collaboration with local villages to conserve the forests in the protected areas inside the park boundaries.

With the support of an IFACS grant, Yayasan Palung has won increasing cooperation from village governments and residents to participate in conservation activities in villages adjacent to the national park. The Kayong Utara District government is also actively engaged in the conservation effort and has set up about 50 hectares of other land for the farmers to use to plant rice and other crops. This should allow 50 families to move their farming activities on the hills inside Gunung Palung National Park, said

Yayasan Gunung Palung Director Tito Indrawan.

“We hope this type of behavioral change to help protect forests in and around the park will serve as an example to other farming communities in the area,” Tito said.

According to a Pampang Harapan Village community leader, Anzhari, his village is keen to work with Yayasan Palung to revive its indigenous Tetinjauan culture.

According to Tetinjauan customary law, a farmer found cultivating more than one area at the same time is in violation of indigenous l aw. “The decision of these 13 farmers to move farming activities to the new fields away from the national park should inspire other farmers in our village and other villages in Kayong Utara District,” said Anzhari.

One resident from a neighboring village, Miswan, gave up his illegal logging activities to open an auto repair shop. To support the farmers in his village Miswan designed a

‘pico hydro’, a mini-hydroelectric machine made from recycled materials that generates 500 watts of electric ity. “I wanted to show them a forest-friendly way to produce electricity," said Miswan, who has become an active volunteer in Yayasan

Palung’s conservation activities. The NGO is now working with Miswan to develop a proposal for funding support from the district government to develop pico-hydro machines for other villages.

Yayasan Palung is also working with farmers to discourage destructive slash-andburn practices and to promote alternative livelihoods -- such as traditional handicraft production and development of freshwater fisheries -- to utilize non-timber forest products and reduce dependence on logging activities.

CCLA development in the landscape has made great progress this quarter since the new

IFACS community development officer position was filled in December. A total of eight

CCLAs have now been signed, and another 13 are being developed for other target villages.

These have been developed mainly through IFACS grantees Dian Tama, ASRI, Yayasan

Palung, SUAR Institute and Germawan. IFACS also has directly implemented with CV


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 55

Pangkar Begili CCLA agreements in five villages (Bukit Tembuang, Bunus Petampaan, Bukit

Selintah, Bunus Sembawang, and Bukit Kampus) in Melawi District.

Subcontractor FIELD has completed CCVA action plans in 15 villages. A workshop to introduce the results to the Kayong Utara District government to socialize the action plans developed by the villages included participants from community groups, government agencies, NGOs and village heads. The plans have gained support from local government agencies that have agreed to provide assistance for climate change adaptation plans, such as alternative income generating projects and technical assistance.

The grants program in the Ketapang landscape showed some progress this quarter, although there were not as many achievements as expected. Of note, ASRI developed a multi-stakeholder management structure for Gunung Palung National Park, conducted training in best management practices in seven villages to promote forest conservation and facilitated participatory mapping that serve as foundations for developing CCLAs in the targeted villages. A new IFACS grant recently approved for ASRI will support conservation activities in an additional 15 villages near Gunung Palung National Park.

IFACS subcontractor PT Hydro Program International introduced principles of carbon project development to IFACS grantees and subcontractors, government officials, community leaders, and the MSF in the first of two training events that will result in a carbon project description document or Project Idea Note (PIN). The training also identified potential carbon projects that can be developed from participants.




Spatial data infrastructure development in KKU and Ketapang has been delayed due to the lack of importance placed on such a structure, which requires a bupati decree for future budgeting. IFACS will dedicate extra resources through an STTA to try to resolve these issues.



The adoption of Landscape Conservation Plans depends largely on the engagement of local stakeholders in the development process. Where the LCP is aligned with personal agendas, data collection and surveys have been implemented by MSF members. KKU and Melawi have yet to implement action plans and the MSF discussion groups will be used as an avenue to improve stakeholder ownership of

LCP documents.



IFACS subcontractor Re.Mark Asia has completed Conservation Management and

Monitoring Plans (CMMPs) with CV Pangkar Begili and PT Sari Bumi Kusuma –

Totang. However, survey teams have faced many obstacles beyond their control – such as conflicting schedules and a fire at the logging camp – that have resulted in implementation delays.



IFACS subcontractor FORINA continues to underperform. Discussions with IFACS grantee Yayasan Palung about an orangutan ecotourism plan have not yielded progress in the field this quarter. FORINA will hold further focal group discussions

(FGDs) on ecotourism development in the Sungai Paduan Protected Forest in KKU in April.



Ketapang Forestry Department now has a budget to develop the Sungai Laur Forest

Management Unit (FMU), which will be set up as a District Technical Unit with an immediate plan to draft a business plan. The Forestry Department has appointed a head for the FMU who has indicated an interest in working with Universitas

Tanjungpura in Pontianak to develop a business plan that will be complemented with an IFACS short-term consultancy to support the FMU development process.

Prorities for Next Quarter



Multi-stakeholder ecotourism workshop in Sukadana.

stores of below-ground carbon. Sebangau National Park is a dominant feature in the landscape and provides legal protection for large areas of peatland. But unsustainable peat management practices and conversion to oil palm and timber concessions are increasing due to commercial investments in the areas. As a result, the landscape is experiencing growing threats from peatland fires and rapid ecosystem conversion. Much of the land under community customary forest management is also threatened by illegal logging and forest degradation.

Katingan landscape, however, still has the potential to manage resources sustainably through improved spatial plans to reduce deforestation rates and carbon emissions. The majority of the settlements concentrated along the Katingan and Sebangau Rivers are ethnic

Dayak communities, for whom forests play an important role. In general, community livelihoods in the landscape rely on timber, agriculture, agroforestry and non-forest timber products. More than 60 percent of communities are primarily dependent on rubber and rattan.


Palangkaraya MSF was actively engaged this quarter in the establishment of a pilot city forest park ( hutan kota ) with an area of 1,600 hectares for Palangka Raya’s plan to set aside

60,000 hectares of forest within the municipality. With IFACS support the MSF and Forestry

Authority of Palangka Raya held a workshop to develop a management action plan for the hutan kota .

Capacity building support for almost 1,000 firefighting volunteers continued in Palangka

Raya. MSFs in Katingan and Pulang Pisau are now also proposing activities to help reduce forest and land fires in their districts. Seven villages adjacent to Sebangau National Park in the Katingan District initiated a MSF meeting in Jahanjang and invited representatives from the national park, private sector, and provincial and district governments to discuss the results of their CCLA mapping activities in relation to village boundaries, conservation areas and improving livelihoods to implement village conservation. The Jahanjang MSF meeting demonstrated the growing awareness among local communities of the importance of conserving their area from potentially destructive situations and their continued interest in claifying their village boundaries relative to the national park.

The stalled SEA project in Katingan and Pulang Pisau Districts has accelerated with a workshop held this quarter in both districts focusing on GIS analysis of the impacts of the spatial plan (RTRW). IFACS is capitalizing on the recent change in district leadership (new bupati) and interest among government staff to finalize a high-quality SEA document in the next few months.

IFACS conducted research this quarter to identify budget allocations for natural resource and forest management in the three focal districts and to encourage district governments to increase budget allocations for conservation. A workshop to disseminate results from this research succeeded in encouraging the authorities involved with forest and land use management to increase their respective budgets in the next cycle to include conservation and low-emission development strategies. More in-depth research on overall spending on the natural resource sector in the province, including the International donor community is needed.

CCLAs in 16 villages (nine in Kotawaringin Timur District and seven in Katingan District) were signed this quarter, and conservation of village forests ( hutan desa ), protection for

agro-forestry areas such as rubber and rattan and wildlife are being implemented. Three villages formally rejected some aspects of the CCLA, but have retained improved management over potential agro-forestry areas around the villages. Linked with the seven

CCLAs in Katingan District, YCI has trained 17 people in Katingan District to increase local knowledge about best management practices to protect HCV areas in rattan and rubber plantations through participatory conservation management.

Four village entrepreneur rubber producer groups ( Kelompok Usaha Bersama Karet ) in

Gohong, Mantaren I, Kalawa dan Buntoi, with a total membership of about 200 members, took part in visits to the Bridgestone plantation and factory in Tanah Laut District, South

Kalimantan. The farmers and IFACS staff visited community plantations to learn about rubber processing methods and potential market links for selling rubber (latex) to the factory. IFACS grantee LDP facilitated farmer visits to Dinas Perkebunan Banja, GAPKINDO and PT. Banua Lima Penjuru rubber factories to explore market linkages and acquire information and direction on how to improve the quality of rubber products in Pulang Pisau.




During the last three months, district governments in Katingan landscape have enthusiastically accepted IFACS programs as they feel it supports their implementation of the national regulation on Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

(RAN and RAD GRK). However, challenges remain and there are certain sectors – most notably the mining and oil palm sectors – that do not support IFACS objectives.



There are indications that corruption is hindering progress of SEA development. For instance, public consultations planned since 2013 have been postponed as they are thought to open up criticism among civil society toward certain actors.



Some grantees in the landscape are underperforming, and have not achieved agreed milestones due to lack of commitment and investment of staff and time necessary to implement the projects. The number of NGOs on the ground with capacity to implement projects often run several programs simultaneously, stretching their capacity to implement activities to quality standards. IFACS staff are working closely with the grantees but have not managed to resolve these issues.



IFACS subcontractor FIELD has relatively inexperienced staff to develop CCVA action plans. This has resulted in unclear messages to villages and action plans that do not adequately address commu nities’ vulnerability to climate change. FIELD is proactively addressing this issue and IFACS will review action plans and activities before additional funding is provided to the villages.



Focal HCV areas have been identified for inclusion in Landscape Conservation Plans but no surveys have been carried out to confirm threats to these areas.




Over the course of the next six months, an additional 26 CCLAs will be developed in villages throughout Katingan landscape.

Sarmi Landscape


The IFACS Sarmi Landscape encompasses an area of approximately 850,000 hectares, which is almost entirely swathed in lowland and swamp forest (including extensive areas of peatland), with smaller areas of foothill forest in the hinterland and mangroves along coastal estuaries. Most of these forests lie within three large timber concessions, though smaller timber extraction operations are also common, particularly around the transmigration settlements in Bonggo subdistrict. There are also several companies conducting coal and iron sands exploration and feasibility studies in Sarmi, with the latter in particular threatening to further destabilize the already fragile and eroding coastline. The economy of Sarmi remains poorly developed with most of the communities ’ cash income derived from timber extraction royalties and handouts from the concession holders, whereas cash cropping is largely limited to old coconut plantations and small areas of poorly managed cocoa.

IFACS activities in Year 4 of project implementation are focused on forest, peatland and coastal management including: 1) MSF strengthening for climate change communications and restoration activities; 2) promotion of low-emission development through SEA/LEDS work with MSF and communities, LCPs & revitalizing traditional natural resource stewardship systems; 3) livelihoods development through improved natural resources management and value-chain development; and 4) private sector partnerships to improve timber concessions management practices through training in BMPs, RIL and development of CMMPs.


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 62


Activities by the Sarmi MSF have improved this quarter, with development of new work plans, revision and formal publication of the MSF charter which calls for greater local government responsibility and funding for MSF activities that tackle climate change and the incorporation of environmental and climate change education into school curriculums. A bupati decree has also been drafted to support these recommendations.

IFACS and the MSF have initiated a series of monthly thematic meetings that aim to increase community awareness about climate change, forest and coastal management issues. These meetings have taken part in different locations throughout Sarmi District and have been highly effective in gathering more than 200 people and generating lively discussions and exchange of ideas on climate change issues, including the role of indigenous communities in sustainable forest management, spatial plan concerns and efforts for climate change mitigation and adaptation in coastal areas. The meetings have been broadcast on local radio, strengthened the commitment and capacity of the MSF to deliver effective communications and served as a platform for socializing key government policies and programs. The team and MSF communications committee have also developed a program of events leading up to World Environment Day (June 5) to raise awareness about climate change. Planned activities include photography and essay writing competitions and cultural events with the theme “Raise your voice, not the sea level.”

The SEA/LEDS process has been completed through working group meetings and two public consultations involving government, community, civil society and the private sector.

Recommendations from the SEA-LEDS report have been incorporated into the final drafts of the spatial and medium term development planning regulations. These regulations have been ratified by the district house of representatives, and presented to the Provincial

Planning Agency to be signed-off by the Governor of Papua. The district government ’s response to this program has been extremely positive. The IFACS team were invited to present the SEA/LEDS documents at the Annual District Planning Forum (Musrenbang) and participate in planning discussions, with the result that the majority of planned programs were aligned with the LEDS (see success story for further detail).

IFACS in collaboration with the Sarmi Development Planning Agency have made progress towards establishment of an spatial data sharing network (SDI). The SDI structure and functions have been determined and a draft Bupati decree has been submitted for review by the district legal department. IFACS has provided hands-on and informal GIS training and mentoring to SDI members and developed advanced GIS training modules. This initiative supports the link between District, Provincial and National mapping initiatives (such as One

Map Initiative (OMI)) and help to avoid inter-agency planning conflicts in the future.

Building upon the success of SEA/LEDS and GIS training, a first draft of the landscape conservation plan has been produced with MSF members identifying and mapping priority value and carbon rich forests, threats and probable impacts of further forest loss, and determine priorities and strategies for forest conservation. Participating MSF members have identified preliminary conservation targets for each of the 13 major ecosystem types in

Sarmi.

Grantee Pt.PPMA have completed implementation and reporting of their program for the establishment of the Tetoom Jaya Community Forestry Cooperative in Bonggo Sub-District, including training in reduced impact logging (RIL), eco-forestry certification, timber volume measurement and forest rehabilitation as well as development of SOPs and production plans. Representatives from the Tetoom Jaya Cooperative attended the Sustainable Forest

Management Training delivered by WWF and the Papua Provincial Forestry Service in

Merauke (See Asmat Landscape report for details).

CCLA development has been completed in nine villages in Bonggo and Bonggo Timur Sub-

District and is nearing completion in eight villages in Pantai Timur Sub-District. In Bonggo,


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 63

CCLAs were developed from participatory mapping work conducted by Pt.PPMA and the

Bonggo community leaders have determined ten community imperatives for sustainable natural resource management and designated an area of 12,509 hectares of primary forest

(or approximately 30% of their customary territory) as priority areas for conservation of ecological, biodiversity and cultural heritage values.

Subcontractor FIELD has completed field activities and developed adaptation plans in 15 target villages. A workshop was conducted to allow each participating community to present their plan to the MSF and other relevant stakeholders aimed at leverage funding and technical support for implementation, especially from the Sarmi Village Community

Empowerment Agency.

Sub-contractor TFF has conducted RIL training for staff from PT. Wapoga Mutiara Timber

(PT.WMT) covering Reduced Impact Logging planning and operational techniques especially skidding and hauling techniques.

Building upon the support provided by IFACS throughout 2013, the Papua Provincial and

Sarmi District Forestry Services have moved ahead with the establishment of the Sarmi-

Mamberamo Forest Management Unit including initial staff training, development of a forest management plan and socialization of the FMU to the broader public, including through several IFACS sponsored events.

STC completed its sixth quarter of operations with continued progress on farmer training and development of a long-term strategy for reviving the cacao industry. Training has prioritized farm hygiene, plant health and integrated pest management, but also included post-harvest management and group cooperation. In order to achieve results in the District the approach has shifted towards farmer-to-farmer knowledge transfer, supported through capacity building for field staff (sending top performing staff on a five-day cacao TOT course sponsored by international cacao buyer Armajaro-Ecom in the Keerom District), and local government agencies. STC has expanded its approach to the remote area of Tor Atas and developed collaboration with the Sarmi office of National Community Empowerment

Program (PNPM) to provide additional technical training and tools to farmers. To date the

STC program has delivered training to 1095 farmers, mapped and collected production data from over 870 farms and established 23 demonstration plots. STC and IFACS also worked with local government on development of a long-term strategy for revitalization of Sarmi’s declining cocoa industry, conducted preliminary assessments for sustainability certification and future training needs with 20 farmer groups and have conducted meetings with local buyers to promote demand for higher quality fermented cocoa.




The district government approach to public policy consultation remains poor, with limited participation. IFACS and the MSF have compensated for this with socialization of SEA-

LEDS at other events such as the monthly thematic dialog meetings, radio broadcasts and presentation during the Annual Development Planning Forum. Greater effort is still required to influence the prevailing culture of exclusivity in public policy development.



Growing awareness of LEDS and climate change was evident during the Annual

Planning Forum ( musrenbang ) with the economic development programs reflecting

LEDS principles. However, many programs (particularly infrastructure planning) remain at odds with the LEDS approach, indicating more work is required to ensure LEDS and climate change and coastal management issues are mainstreamed in the district planning process.



Local government and community participation in MSF activities has improved considerably, particularly in relation to the monthly thematic meetings, which indicates growing commitment, critical thinking and sense of ownership. IFACS will continue to

Spatial P lan in Papua’s Sarmi District Guided by Low-Emission Development

Since Sarmi District was established in 2002, its extensive areas of carbon-rich lowland and peat swamp forests have come under increasing pressure from logging interests.

Today, forest area in this isolated region in northern Papua is almost entirely dominated by timber concessions, and community livelihoods in the sparsely populated landscape are based largely on extraction of natural resources.

With the cooperation of local government and MSF partners in the district, IFACS efforts to promote low-emission development in the regi on have succeeded in turning Papua’s Sarmi

District into the first focal district in the IFACS landscapes to create spatial plan (RTRWK) and medium-term development plan documents that integrate basic Strategic Environment

Assessment principles that prioritize sustainable forest management.

The Sarmi District government, led by the district head (bupati), adopted the SEA-LEDS recommendations during a public consultation workshop in February 2014. The SEA document was incorporated into the final drafts of the district’s spatial and medium-term development plans, and with the strong support from the district house of representatives, draft legislation for these two plans won the support of the provincial Regional Spatial

Planning Coordinating Agency (BKPRD) and the Papua governor in March.

“Until now, Sarmi has lacked a spatial plan to guide development,” said Viktor Pekpekai, head of the Sarmi District Development Planning Agency. “Through cooperation with the

Sarmi governrment, IFACS has brought about dynamic change in terms of engaging nongovernment and private sector actors in the process of developing this strategy for sustainable, climate-friendly development that will support the interests and needs of the people of Sarmi.”

The SEA recommendations aim to address the poorly planned infrastructure development of the past that have placed the region under increased risk of coastal erosion, flooding and other climate-related disasters. Immediate outcomes from the incorporation of the Sarmi

SEA document into the spatial and development plans include the rezoning of around

8,000 hectares of land that were formerly designated as production and conversion forest and have been reclassified as protected mangrove forest (1,000 ha), protected peat swamp forest (5,000 ha) and community agricultural land (2,000 ha). The ecosystems targeted for protection contain rich stores of carbon and provide vital ecosystem services such as flood mitigation and coastal protection to increase resilience to climate change impacts. Climate change mitigation measures have also been identified for areas where development will take place to increase sustainability.

Developing LEDS principles for the Sarmi spatial and development plans was based on a set of mutually agreed sustainable development principles, including: protection of the rights of Sarmi’s indigenous communities; increased resilience to natural disasters; protection of carbon-rich peatlands; and alternative low-emission economic development. strive to build upon this with more targeted activities, including further monthly dialog meetings, radio broadcasts and World Environment Day events planned for the upcoming quarter.



The national legislative elections on April 9 significantly impacted activities this quarter, with many senior government officials on leave or otherwise preoccupied with political campaigning activities.



A long-running land rights dispute among indigenous clans in Bonggo subdistrict flared up causing considerable delays in CCLA implementation. This highlighted the high risk


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 65

of social conflict and the need for careful social analysis and inclusive engagement of participating and neighboring communities in conducting participatory mapping and other activities relating to customary land and resource tenure. The IFACS team and Pt.PPMA were able to turn this situation around through careful consultations with the clans in

Bonggo, and use the CCLA and participatory mapping process as a tool for resolving this conflict.



A provincial government restructure and reshuffling of service heads has occurred for the second time since inauguration of the new governor, causing delays and disorganization.

This also included attempts to move the spatial planning functions from the planning agency to the Public Works Service. This may undermine achievements in improved spatial planning in the future.

Mamberamo Landscape


The IFACS Mamberamo landscape is located in Papua Province and covers 1.7 million hectares within the single Mamberamo Raya administrative district (which encompasses a total 2.6 million hectares). The landscape is dominated by the Mamberamo River, which forms a large river delta on the coast. The coastal region contains significant areas of mangroves, extending inland to vast swamp areas.

Mamberamo hosts the largest single timber concession in Indonesia, which is operated by

PT Mamberamo Alas Mandiri. Areas along the river and swamp forest have been proposed for sugar cane plantation development and oil palm plantations. Mamberamo’s economy is in its infancy, but the government has it eyes on large-scale development based mostly on extractive industries – oil palm plantations, mining and timber. Fortunately, these are far from realization at the moment and the government is still keen to improve the welfare of local communities in Papua through alternative sustainable strategies.


The decision to downscale the program in late November 2013 has allowed Conservation

International (CI) to focus on core activities that are in line with the priorities of local stakeholders and government. Even with this downscaling, progress in the field has been slow.


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 67

CI has maintained relations with the Mamberamo District government under less than ideal conditions (see challenges below). In March, the last two of five Collaborative Land Use

Planning assessments were conducted in the villages of Murumare and Marinavalen with the support of local government, principally BAPPEDA. CI retrained staff and recruits from local government in the methods of collating data, mapping, survey households and interviewing key informants about the natural resources and history of the area including changes that they have witnessed in the landscape and impacts of these changes that may be due to climate change. The field assessments stages of CLUP in Murumare and

Marinavalen were carried out in March.




CI continues to have staffing problems and has suffered a total field staff turnover for the implementation of CLUP in the last two villages. Mamberamo is a difficult place to work and produce results. This has demotivated all of the previous staff working for

CI. Staff working on the project are now working on a consultancy basis, all with no prior experience in Mamberamo. Personnel with experience are either unavailable or ineffective.



Lack of experience of Mamberamo project staff has lead to less effective communication with communities that lead to misinterpretations and confusion between the assessors and participants at times, and even a small proportion of the community rejecting the assessment due to their misunderstanding of the purpose of the assessment. These misunderstandings are common in the Mamberamo, but require project implementers to spend significant amounts of time in the field so that questions can be answered at any time.



CLUP in all villages in Mamberamo was requested by the Mamberamo Raya government at the start of the project. Therefore, a major component of the CI approach was to increase capacity of government staff requiring commitment to be involved in the process. However, the willingness of local government to take part in the CLUP activities has significantly diminished.



Many Mamberamo officials have treated the Easter holidays as an extension of

Christmas and have not returned to Mamberamo since December (an absence of more than three months).

Mimika Landscape


The IFACS Mimika landscape stretches across 1.7 million hectares of the south-central coast of Papua. Over 94 percent of the landscape remains forested, 80 percent of which is virgin forest with very high ecological value. It is one of most biodiverse places on the planet, with an estimated 630 species of birds, 123 species of mammals and more than 20,000 plant species. Mimika’s amazing biodiversity remains largely intact because the landscape has been very sparsely populated. However, this rich biodiversity faces increasing threats as

Mimika’s mineral wealth fuels a mining boom that contributes more than 93 percent of

Mimika’s GDP and a rapid population growth, accompanied by increasing land-use and forest resource exploitation pressures.

The main focus of IFACS work in this landscape is the conservation of coastal wetland forests, which include around 250,000 hectares of mangrove and 500,000 hectares of swamp forest, which form part of one of the w orld’s largest, richest and most intact wetland ecosystems. In addition to hosting an extraordinary biodiversity, mangroves are critical to the livelihoods of the indigenous Kamoro people and provide protection from climate change impacts, including flooding and sea-level rise, which threaten to inundate up to one-third of

Mimika during this century. Furthermore, mangroves sequester and store large volumes of carbon (up to 1,800 tonnes per hectare), making them one of the largest carbon sinks in the world. Rapid population growth and increasing access to Mimika’s forests from development of ports, roads, oil palm and shrimp ponds development threatens to expose the region to the same devastation that has occurred in coastal wetlands in other parts of Indonesia.


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 69


The MSF approach is gaining traction with increasing ownership, commitment and critical thinking. The Mimika MSF has elected new officers, reviewed its strategic vision and work plan, and also expanded membership to include new representatives from local government,

Lorentz National Park, CSOs, religious leaders, private sector and the customary councils.

IFACS and the MSF have successfully lobbied local government for budget allocations to support MSF and MMWG activities including a mangrove management study tour and mangrove regulation development, but funds may not become available until late in the year.

MSF members are lobbying the bupati to sign a revised decree that would formalize the

MSF structure and allow long-term funding allocations. The MSF has started to implement its communication strategy and local religious and customary leaders have finalized sermon sheets and brochures to convey key messages about climate change.

The SEA-LEDS process is almost complete with final working group reviews, a public consultation and the final drafting of SEA-LEDS documents that include revisions that the spatial and medium term development plans require. Priority changes include rezoning of

200,000 hectares of lowland and swamp forest from conversion (HPK) to limited production forest (HPT), which would stop the deforestation and potentially reduce around 90 million tonnes of GHG emissions. SEA-LEDS has significantly improved the knowledge and skills of all participants that were involved in its development.

Mangrove conservation efforts in Mimika are starting to produce results. A “Mimika Coastal

Wetlands Adaptive Collaborative Management” manifesto, has been socialized and decree for formalization of the Mimika Mangrove Working Group (MMWG) drafted. Mangrove Action

Project (MAP) Indonesia has mobilized activities in the field to provide capacity building and management planning support for the MMWG. MSF representatives from Mimika and Asmat att ended the Regional Conference on “ Restoring Coastal Livelihoods: Increasing the resilience of mangrove-aquaculture socio-ecological systems in Southeast Asia, ” hosted by

MAP and CIFOR in Bogor, and learned from experiences and perspectives of researchers, policy makers and community members throughout Indonesia and Southeast Asia.

Subcontractor FIELD has completed field activities in six target villages resulting in participatory assessments and adaptation plans that include specific activities for achieving sustainable livelihoods in the face of climate change.

IFACS grantee YAPEDA has completed CCLA development in Pigapu Village and socialized the CCLA approach in a further five villages. IFACS has subcontracted

Samdhana Institute and the Indonesian Participatory Mapping Network (JKPP) to implement participatory mapping program in another 15 villages in four subdistricts.

TFF led a workshop to present its findings and recommendations from a study of small-scale forestry licensing in Papua. Participants included representatives from government, community and private sector stakeholders from Mimika, Sarmi and the provincial government. Recommendations, including rationalization of small-scale forestry regulations, defining local timber demand, participatory customary forest mapping as the basis of community-based forestry liscences and capacity building of forestry extensionists and

NGOs for community-based forestry.

Preliminary baseline data for a coastal wetland management plan, potential cabon offset project and atlas has been delivered. USFS and the University of Indiana have provided findings of the mangrove carbon stock assessment, including vegetation and carbon stock maps. The University of Papua (UNIPA) has drfted initial findings of vegetation and natural resource surveys.

Grantee YAPEDA focused on the sustainable management of sago and other important forest resources in Mimika Timur and Wania subdistricts. A workshop involving 60 people from five villages provided inputs for draft village regulations for the improved management of sago and important forest resources.



Capacity and motivation among some IFACS stakeholders is low. Mimika Women’s

Network (JPM) has been withdrawn from IFACS funding as it lacks capacity for implementation, but activities will be continued (with JPM) through the MSF. Local government in Mimika has a high capacity development need for climate change issues. IFACS will continue addressing this need through intensive and ongoing awareness raising, training and capacity-building support.



Recommendations from the SEA document will not be included into the spatial plan until 2016, though mitigation recommendations and recommendation for the medium- term development plan can be incorporated immediately. Remaining issues will be addressed through the LCP and Mimika Mangrove Adaptive-Collaborative

Management planning processes.



Field monitoring of the small-scale Logging Entreprenuers Association (HIPKAL) to implement the “Cut one, plant ten policy” has achieved very limited success to date due to voluntary nature of this policy and lack of monitoring and enforcement. TFF still faces a challenge to develop innovative approaches and to ensure implementation of RIL, replanting and follow-up maintenance. A workshop will be held in the next quarter.



Illegal logging and mining in the far western part of Mimika are difficult to monitor due to the remote location. The MSF faces a challenge to raise awareness among the local indigenous Kamoro communities to monitor and wherever possible prevent illegal activities.



Annual planning meetings ( musrenbang ) and the April parliamentary elections have impacted activities significantly. Further disruptions are expected in the run-up to the

July presidential elections and the unresolved results of the Mimika District elections last October which have left a leadership vaccum in the district.



A newly imposed mineral export tax by the GOI has resulted in PT Freeport cutting production, workforce and CSR budgets by around 70 percent and financial support from the company will be dramatically reduced. IFACS can generate good will with

Freeport, by gap-filling in the landscape that can be translated into financial support in the medium- to long-term.



Tribal warfare in February and March between several of the highland tribes living around Timika have resulted in security threats and disruptions to IFACS field activities. Grantee LP3AP has been requested to focus activities on villages where access is more likely to be continuous.

Asmat Landscape


The IFACS Asmat landscape is located in the focal district of Asmat. The 2.2-million hectare landscape contains the southeastern portions of Lorentz National Park and comprises the largest expanse of swamp forest in Papua Province. Asmat District has among the largest concentration of peatland in the province. Mangroves are also a dominant forest type and present a unique opportunity for climate change mitigation and adaptation in the Asmat landscape.

Large portions of Asmat were previously gazetted as production forest but recent changes to the provincial spatial plan have rezoned much of the area as protected forest and limited production forest that restricts large-scale development activities.


During this quarter, IFACS and subcontractor WWF have powered ahead with participatory mapping activities, completing two mapping expeditions and commencing a third (totaling to date five mapping trips in the landscape). The third participatory mapping expedition was conducted in the Jopmak and sub-tribal areas that cover eight villages in Sawa-Erma and

Pulau Tiga subdistricts in the southeastern corner of Lorentz National Park. The fourth expedition was conducted in the Betcambub-Aramatak sub-tribal area covering eight villages in Becbamu and Atsj Districts on the south-central coast of Asmat District. The program to


– March 31, 2014

P a g e | 73

complete maps with communities from 39 villages is still on track and represents the most extensive and detailed participatory mapping program in Papua.

Participative mapping has collected detailed spatial data relating to sociocultural aspects, customary land and natural resource-use and management systems (including local knowledge, zonation and important places / HCVs). Customary leaders, clan heads and other community members have explained the importance of areas for hunting and food gathering, sago groves and culturally significant sites that include historical and places where important battles took place, ancestral migration routes, former village sites and sacred sites in indigenous territory. Digital maps and a database of information collected is available for all areas mapped in 2013 and ready to use in spatial planning that guards the rights of indigenous communities and allows them to play leading roles in the management of their customary land and natural resources.

A team of researchers from the State University of Papua and the Cenderawasih University, together with representatives of the Asmat Forestry Service, Papua Natural Resources

Conservation Agency and WWF, completed field studies on the ecology and biodiversity as well as the sociocultural and economic conditions of communities living within and around the proposed Rawa Baki and Vrienschaap Customary Conservation Area. The data thus obtained will be used as the basis for sustainable management planning. Efforts to establish a collaborative management structure for the Rawa Baki - Vrienschap Customary

Conservation Area have progressed well with the establishment of a collaborative management forum consisting of representatives from local government, customary leaders, the Catholic Church, academia, civil society and the private sector. The bupati of Asmat has signed a decree mandating the forum to implement collaborative management activities within Asmat District’s Essential Ecosystem Areas, including both the proposed Rawa Baki -

Vrienschap Customary Conservation Area and a portion of Lorentz National Park that lies within Asmat District. With assistance from WWF, the forum has developed a work plan, which includes lobbying the government of Asmat District and the National Directorate

General of Forests and Nature Conservation regarding the formal designation of the Rawa

Baki - Vrienschap Customary Conservation Area.

Twenty participants from Beco and Jipawer Community Forestry Cooperatives attended

Sustainable Forest Management Training in the “

Mo Make Unaf

” Community Forestry

Cooperative Camp in Merauke. This training was delivered by WWF Papua in collaboration with the Papua Provincial Forestry Service and was also attend by participants from community based forestry cooperatives in Jayapura, Yapen, Merauke and the Tetoom Jaya

Forestry Cooperative from Sarmi District. the workshop developed capacity in licensing of community-based forestry in Papua (IUPHHK-MHA), technical use and maintenance of portable sawmills, reduced impact tree felling techniques, preparation of timber production reports, Global Forest Trade Network (GFTN) sustainable forest management standards for eco-labeling, timber volume measurement techniques and forest inventory.

Capacity building for 13 partici pants from the Catholic Church’s Secretariat for Peace and

Justice (SKP) has been delivered in the form of GPS and GIS use, participatory mapping of important places (HCVs), field data processing and integration of participatory mapping data with the district spatial plan.

Twenty members of the Syuru Village Restoration group planted another 213 mangrove tree seedlings ( Rhizophora mucronata ) this quarter in and around Syuru Village. The Syuru

Village Restoration Group has raised more than 1,000 seedlings to date on a voluntary basis.


Key challenges which have affected program implementation during this quarter have included:



Prevailing weather conditions, including strong easterly winds, have hampered access to some village areas and hampered activities, including planned mangrove restoration activities in Yeppem and Per Village.



A malaria epidemic in the district this quarter incapacitated a number of WWF field staff and many people from local government and communities.



To date WWF and IFACS have been unable to convince the head of Asmat District to provide a recommendation to change the status of 8,000 hectares of forest around

Beco and Jipawer villages from Protected Forest to Limited Production Forest, so as to allow for community-based forestry cooperatives. WWF and IFACS will continue to advocate for this change in status on the basis that it will be offset by the establishment of the Rawa Baki – Vrienschap Customary Conservation Area. WWF and IFACS will also continue working with the Beco & Jipawer Cooperatives to prepare them for community-based forestry activities.



The external consultants who were contracted by Asmat District government to develop the SEA document have been resistant to cooperation with WWF and

IFACS and the SEA process they have applied has skipped several important steps.

Consequently, the SEA document that was produced is considered to be of poor quality and not fully representative of local conditions.



Participatory mapping in remote villages in Asmat requires the deployment of considerable resources in terms of time, human resources and funding, and also entails a relatively high level of risks to health and security.




The fifth and final expedition to develop participatory maps in 10 villages in the

Pantai Kasuari area on southeast coast of Asmat District commenced on March 27 and will be completed early next quarter.



Conduct a workshop to establish consensus between the customary forums regarding the participatory maps of important places (HCVFs) and natural resources potential.



Formation of a GIS unit within the Diocese of Agats and institute routine meetings to discuss and share information / participatory mapping and spatial planning data between the different work units in the Diocese of Agats, local government and the

Asmat Customary Foundation;



Review of SEA, spatial planning and medium-term development planning documents and conduct the next steps in the WWF/IFACS SEA training process with the Asmat

District Development Planning Agency and other government agencies.



Lobby the Asmat District government for a letter of recommendation and the National

Directorate General of Forests and Nature Conservation regarding the formal designation of the Rawa Baki - Vrienschap Customary Conservation Area and conduct workshop to present results of biodiversity, social-cultural and participatory mapping studies.


– March 31, 2014



Facilitation of local community to lobby local government for a letter of recommendation and the Papua Forestry Service and the governor of Papua to obtain licenses for the establishment of community-based forestry projects in Beco and Jipawer Villages and present the results of forest inventory.



Identify potential ecotourism activities in Asmat District including cultural, biodiversity and adventure attractions.



Establish a policy planning team to develop an academic policy paper and draft local regulations on sustainable nature resources use.

Remarks

Most of the executive committees of MSF are dominated by NGOs, thus their access to communicate with related SKPDs are limited.

Moreover, the accessibility system to gain the official documents is too bureaucratic, therefore, it is quite challenging for them to access official documents.

Even though the MSF executive committees are from government staff, however, the accessibility system to gain the official documents is too bureaucratic.

The chief committee of MSF is from government staff; therefore it becomes easy to access official data and information since he has official authority to access the data for MSF purposes.

Even though the chief committee of MSF is from government staff (Dinas Perkebunan), however the accessibility system to gain the official documents is too bureaucratic. Therefore, it is quite hard for them to access data/official documents, for instance

The chief committee of MSF is from community leader, however, Bupati KKU has put a great trust on this person since his capacity is quite good in managing MSF. As a consequence, most of SKPD is more open and transparent whenever MSF need their data or official document.

The chief executive of MSF is from Bappeda staff, therefore he can easily coordinate with other SKPD using his authority as the leading government agency to access the official documents.

The main issue of MSF for gaining the official documents is the accessibility system is too bureaucratic. Furthermore, some of SKPD is placing a lot of conditions for MSF in order they can access the documents even harder (SKPD is being exclusive).

The communication between MSF and the government staff in this district is quite active and the frequency to make a collaborative activity among them is quite high. Therefore, most of the MSF members are easily to access government document or to share MSF

’s data/information to related SKPD.

Name of Indicator : Number of regulations and plans promoting sustainable natural resources management developed – Output Indicator

Unit of Measure : Number of regulations and plans.

Disaggregated By : District, landscape, and type (policy, law, regulation or plan).


LOP Target : Life of project target is 5.

RESULTS

Four village regulations have been enacted in South East Aceh concerning community participation on forest preservation. Under the regulations community is obliged to preserve protected forest, conserve water cacthment area, replanting degraded lands, etc. As stipulated, village governments will form special task force from community members to enforce the regulation and undertake regular monitoring in forest area in collaboration with forest office and national park. YELPED as one of IFACS grantees has successfully facilitated the development of the regulations in Leuser, Jambur Lak-Lak, Jati Sara and Penengkunen Villages.

In Gayo Lues, IFACS has encouraged local government to formulate local regulation on natural resources management which later enacted as Qanun Pengelolaan

Lingkungan Hidup.

In Asmat District, Bupati has enacted a decree to form the forum of collaborative management for conservation areas. The forum comprised of representatives of local government, university, NGOs, indigenous people, private sector, with the main role is to assist government to develop Conservation Management Plan and monitor the implementation.

RESULTS

Notes: CCLA development involves multiple steps. When counting progress toward meeting this target, USAID IFACS track the intermediate milestones (see table below). We count this indicator achieved once the CCLA is signed between the community and USAID IFACS; however, the project will still monitor and report the number of communities that 1) implement CCLA activities and 2) monitor their CCLA process. For this quarter, 29 CCLAs have been signed . Monitoring of CCLA implementation is running in some areas.
